Pope Leo XIV Meets Zelensky at Inauguration Mass | 1st American Pope Vows to end Russian-Ukraine War
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?
Usha Vance’s decision to wear a traditional mantilla at Pope Leo XIV’s inauguration has sparked controversy and raised eyebrows worldwide. Why did the Second Lady choose to honor the Catholic tradition with this symbolic gesture? In this video, we dive into the deeper meaning behind Usha’s choice, exploring its cultural and religious significance. A Hindu by faith, Usha has supported her husband, Vice President JD Vance, through his conversion to Catholicism—now, her bold display of respect at the Vatican draws attention from both critics and supporters. Was this a political statement, a gesture of respect, or something more? Watch as we unpack the tension between faith, politics, and symbolism at this historic event with the first American pope.

U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, calling him “the greatest salesman in the world” and accusing him of walking away from Washington with massive aid packages. In a new interview, Trump said he hated to see billions “pissed away” on Ukraine and questioned where the money went. With Congress growing skeptical, Trump also highlighted how Zelensky’s influence has waned. The remarks come just as Russia and Ukraine agreed to a major prisoner swap during their first direct peace talks in three years.

In a tense White House exchange, President Donald Trump bluntly dismissed Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s efforts to negotiate an end to tariffs on Canadian goods. When asked if there was anything Carney could say to reverse the decision, Trump coldly replied, “No. That’s the way it is.” The stark rebuff has escalated tensions between Washington and Ottawa, fueling fears of a prolonged trade standoff and further straining U.S.-Canada relations.

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.
