Russian drone strikes continued in Ukraine, killing nine people, officials said, as the Vatican renewed its offer to help the two sides in efforts to reach a peace agreement.

The strikes C and renewed offer from the Vatican C come hours after Moscow and Kyiv had held their first direct peace talks in years that failed to yield a ceasefire. Russian and Ukrainian officials met Friday in Istanbul in an attempt to reach a temporary ceasefire, but the talks ended after less than two hours without a breakthrough - as they remained far apart on key conditions for ending the fighting and Putin was a no-show .

President Trump said on social media Saturday that he plans to speak to Putin on Monday. "The subjects of the call will be, stopping the 'bloodbath" that is killing, on average, more than 5000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week, and trade," Mr. Trump wrote in all capital letters, adding he would speak to President Zelenskyy and members of NATO after his call with Putin.

It was the first face-to-face dialogue between the two sides since the early weeks of Moscow's February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The "bloodbath" continues

Zelenskyy said he had discussed the outcome of the Istanbul talks with U.S. President Donald Trump and the leaders of France, Germany, Britain and Poland.

On Saturday, the bloodbath continued, as Ukrainian officials said a Russian drone hit a bus evacuating civilians f rom a front-line area in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region, killing nine people.

Seven people were also injured in the attack in Bilopillia, a town around 6 miles from Russia's border, three of them seriously, according to local Gov. Oleh Hryhorov and Ukraine's national police. The Associated Press couldn't independently verify the report. There was no comment from Moscow.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the attack as "deliberate killing of civilians," adding in a post on Telegram messaging app that "Russians could scarcely not realize what kind of vehicle they were hitting."

He lamented the missed opportunity from Friday's peace talks, saying that "Ukraine has long proposed this - a full and unconditional ceasefire in order to save lives."

"Russia only retains the ability to continue killing," Zelenskyy added.

Vatican renews offer to help

The Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, repeated the Vatican's offer to serve as a venue for direct talks, saying the failure of negotiations in Istanbul to reach a ceasefire this week was "tragic."

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in Rome on Saturday and he told reporters before meeting with Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, the Vatican point man on Ukraine, he would be discussing potential ways the Vatican could help.

Asked if the Vatican could be a peace broker, Rubio replied: "I wouldn't call it broker, but it's certainly - I think it's a place that both sides would be comfortable going."

"So we'll talk about all of that and obviously always grateful to the Vatican for their willingness to play this constructive and positive role," said Rubio, who also met Saturday with the Vatican secretary of state and foreign minister.

Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a statement that Secretary Rubio met with the Cardinal to discuss the urgent need to end the Russia-Ukraine war.62 "He emphasized the importance of continued collaboration under the new leadership of Pope Leo XIV," the statement said.

Leo, who was elected history's first American pope on May 8 , took up Francis' call for peace in Ukraine in his first Sunday noon blessing as pope. He appealed for all sides to do whatever possible to reach "an authentic, just and lasting peace."

As a bishop in Peru, Leo had called Russia's war an "imperialist invasion," vowed this week personally to "make every effort so that this peace may prevail."

In a speech to eastern rite Catholics, including the Greek Catholic Church of Ukraine, Leo begged warring sides to meet and negotiate.

"The Holy See is always ready to help bring enemies together, face to face, to talk to one another, so that peoples everywhere may once more find hope and recover the dignity they deserve, the dignity of peace," he said.

俄罗斯在乌克兰的无人机袭击行动持续进行，导致9人死亡，据官员称，与此同时，梵蒂冈再次提出帮助双方努力达成和平协议的提议。

在莫斯科和基辅在多年后首次举行直接和平谈判但未能达成停火协议的数小时后，发生了袭击事件，同时梵蒂冈也提出了新的提案。俄罗斯和乌克兰官员周五在伊斯坦布尔会面，试图达成临时停火，但谈判在不到两小时后结束，没有取得突破——双方在结束战斗的关键条件上仍存在很大分歧，而普京则未出席。

特朗普总统在周六的社会媒体上表示，他计划在周一与普京进行通话。特朗普先生以全部大写字母写道：“通话的主题将是阻止‘血腥屠杀’，每周平均造成5000多名俄罗斯和乌克兰士兵死亡，以及贸易问题。”他补充说，在与普京通话后，他将与泽连斯基总统和北约成员进行交谈。

自2022年2月莫斯科对乌克兰进行全面入侵的初期以来，这是双方首次面对面对话。

“血战”仍在继续

泽连斯基表示，他与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普以及法国、德国、英国和波兰的领导人讨论了伊斯坦布尔会谈的结果。

周六，乌克兰官员表示，俄罗斯的无人机袭击了从乌克兰东北部苏梅地区前线地区撤离平民的公共汽车，造成9人死亡，导致这一惨案继续发生。

根据当地政府官员Oleh Hryhorov和乌克兰国家警察的报告，在距离俄罗斯边境约6英里的Bilopillia镇的袭击事件中，共有7人受伤，其中3人伤势严重。美联社未能独立核实这一报告。莫斯科方面对此未发表任何评论。

乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基（Volodymyr Zelenskyy）将此次袭击描述为“蓄意杀害平民”，并在Telegram应用程序上发帖补充道，“俄罗斯人几乎不可能不意识到他们正在击打的是哪种车辆。”

他惋惜周五和平谈判错失的良机，并表示“乌克兰早已提出这一提议——全面且无条件的停火，以挽救生命。”

泽连斯基补充道：“俄罗斯只有继续杀戮的能力。”

梵蒂冈重申提供帮助的意愿

梵蒂冈国务卿皮特罗·帕罗林枢机重申了梵蒂冈作为直接对话地点的提议，并表示伊斯坦布尔的谈判未能在本周达成停火协议是“令人悲痛的”。

美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥周六在罗马，他在与梵蒂冈乌克兰事务特使马泰奥·祖比枢机主教会面前对记者们表示，他将会探讨梵蒂冈可能提供的帮助方式。

当被问及梵蒂冈是否能成为和平调解者时，鲁比奥回答道：“我不会称其为调解者，但我认为这是一个双方都会感到舒适的场所。”

鲁比奥说，'我们将讨论所有这些内容，并且显然总是对梵蒂冈愿意扮演这一建设性和积极角色的意愿表示感谢。'他还在周六与梵蒂冈国务卿和外交部长进行了会面。

发言人塔米·布鲁斯在一份声明中表示，鲁比奥国务卿会见了红衣主教，讨论了结束俄罗斯与乌克兰战争的迫切需要。声明中提到，“他强调了在教皇利奥十四世新领导下的持续合作的重要性。”

5月8日当选为历史上首位美国教皇的利奥在担任教皇后的第一个周日中午祝福中，继续弗朗西斯的呼吁，呼吁乌克兰各方采取一切可能措施，以实现“真正、公正和持久的和平。”

作为秘鲁的一位主教，莱奥将俄罗斯的战争称为“帝国主义入侵”，并誓言本周将“竭尽全力以确保和平得以实现。”

在向包括乌克兰希腊天主教会在内的东仪天主教徒发表的演讲中，列奥恳请交战双方进行会晤并展开谈判。

教宗表示，圣座随时准备帮助将敌人聚集在一起，面对面地交谈，以便世界各地的人民能够再次找到希望，恢复他们应得的尊严，即和平的尊严。
