You better go read all the things that the Pope has stated about Trump and JD Vance. The New Pope Doesn’t Seem to Be a Huge Fan of Trump or JD Vance Robert Prevost, a.k.a. Pope Leo XIV, has a long history of criticizing Trump on his X account. https://newrepublic.com/post/195020/new-pope-robert-prevost-trump-jd-vance
Once again, let's outline that Putin is not the least bit interested in peace. His only end game is to take over all of Ukraine and then go on to violently conquer most of eastern Europe to achieve his vision of the new Soviet Union. Putin's offer of talks may be attempt to divide the US and Europe https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy4edj818ngo
Just counting the hours until Putin states Russia will not show up at his "peace meeting" in Turkey if Zelenskyy attends.
I do doubt there will be a ceasefire. Putin may well show up to the meeting as he's trying to evade/delay additional sanctions, and the Russian economy is already in a severe recession on real metrics (e.g. taxes collected from businesses). It's been clear the game the last few months is to pander to Trump so Putin needs to pass the ball to Zelensky in some way without delivering.
