In a historic and politically charged moment at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, shook hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska as his inaugural Mass drew to a close.
But the gesture was more than ceremonial. In his first global address, Pope Leo XIV vowed to make “every effort” to help end the war in Ukraine and later condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying people had been “reduced to famine.”
World leaders—including U.S. Vice President JD Vance, UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney—looked on as faith and geopolitics collided in St. Peter’s Square.
Is the new pope signaling a bold new era of Vatican diplomacy? Can faith intervene where politics has failed?

Vice President JD Vance delivered a powerful speech at the National Police Memorial Service in Washington, D.C., vowing unwavering support for law enforcement. Standing before top Trump officials, Vance took aim at “far-left prosecutors,” “weak-willed politicians,” and the rise in lawlessness. He declared the Trump administration would never abandon police officers or the memory of fallen heroes. With National Police Week underway, Vance promised pro-police policies, zero tolerance for anti-cop rhetoric, and a crackdown on violent crime and open border chaos. A resounding moment of the administration’s law-and-order stance.

Washington-based South Asia analyst Michael Kugelman explains why the U.S. intervened during the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Initially maintaining a watchful stance, Vice President Vance and President Trump eventually pushed for a ceasefire due to two major concerns: rapid military escalation and fears around nuclear security. Kugelman noted that the U.S. was alarmed by India’s targeting of a strategic air base near nuclear sites in Rawalpindi. These developments prompted a rare shift from passive observation to active diplomatic pressure.
