MOSCOW, Oct 16 - Russian President Vladimir Putin told Pope Leo in a phone call on Friday that he supported a Vatican initiative to help deliver supplies to civilians in the Russian-controlled town of Oleshky in southern Ukraine and was ready to cooperate on the matter.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
"The Vatican’s intention to help create the conditions necessary to ensure the safety of the town’s population and to organise vital supplies has been supported," the Kremlin said in a statement.
The statement added that Leo “reaffirmed the Holy See’s commitment to promoting dialogue and peace”.
“His post-operative recovery allows him to carry out his normal daily activities completely on his own,” said a medical update signed by Leo’s personal physician Dr Luigi Carbone and the head of thoracic surgery, Dr Stefano Margaritora.
