梵蒂冈城，11月1日 - 教宗利奥周日表示，他希望俄罗斯和乌克兰在俄罗斯占领的乌克兰城镇奥莱希基实施停火方面的合作，能为更广泛的和平努力铺平道路。
VATICAN CITY, Nov 1 - Pope Leo said on Sunday he hoped cooperation between Russia and Ukraine in implementing a ceasefire in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky would pave the way for broader peace efforts.
乌克兰和俄罗斯10月23日表示，已同意在奥莱希基停火，该停火由美国第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普斡旋，教宗利奥也参与其中，旨在允许向这个饱受严重食品和药品短缺之苦的前线城镇运送援助物资和疏散人员。
Ukraine and Russia said on October 23 they had agreed to a ceasefire in Oleshky, brokered by US first lady Melania Trump with the additional involvement of Pope Leo, to allow aid deliveries and evacuations from the frontline town, which has been suffering acute food and medicine shortages.
“已对奥莱希基市的平民人口开展了一次人道主义行动。我希望，各方之间为实现这一必要的人道主义举动而进行的合作，能够增强他们进行对话的意愿，并为和平带来新的具体举措，”教宗利奥在周日祈祷中表示。
"A humanitarian operation has been carried out to help the civilian population in the city of Oleshky. I hope that the cooperation between the parties, which made this necessary humanitarian gesture possible, will strengthen their willingness to engage in dialogue and lead to fresh concrete initiatives for peace," Pope Leo said during his Sunday prayer.
乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基表示，和平谈判代表将于11月初举行新一轮会谈。
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said peace negotiators would meet for fresh talks in early November.
教宗利奥10月16日分别与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京和泽连斯基通话。克里姆林宫表示，普京告诉利奥，他支持梵蒂冈向奥莱希基平民运送物资的倡议，并准备进行合作。
Pope Leo spoke with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelenskiy on October 16. Putin told Leo that he supported a Vatican initiative to deliver supplies to civilians in Oleshky and was ready to cooperate, the Kremlin said.
周二，梵蒂冈外交部长保罗·加拉格尔大主教表示，尽管利奥最近与普京和泽连斯基通话，但他不认为梵蒂冈在安排这为期六天的停火中发挥了直接作用。
On Tuesday, the Vatican's foreign minister, Archbishop Paul Gallagher, said that although Leo had recently spoken with Putin and Zelenskiy, he did not believe the Vatican had played a direct role in arranging the six-day ceasefire.
