Pope Leo asked for a truce to get food and first aid into Oleshky, a Russian-held town in southern Ukraine, and let civilians leave if they choose. Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in a Friday phone call to work with the Vatican on delivering vital supplies and keeping locals safe. Both countries blame each other for blocking aid to the town, which Ukrainian forces want to take back.
