Pope Leo XIV Calls for Global Truce on Christmas

Pope Leo XIV, the new pope, celebrated his first Christmas as pope.

He asked everyone to have a day of peace on Christmas, but he was sad that Russia said no to a truce in Ukraine.

There is a big fight going on in Ukraine, and the Pope met with the Ukrainian president.

The Pope also said that the US president's peace plan might change things between Europe and America.

Ukraine had to move its soldiers from a town after a tough battle.

Three people died, and many lost power in the cold weather.

The Pope hopes to visit Ukraine one day.

He also held a big church service to celebrate the birth of Jesus, which is very important for Catholics.

He talked about being kind and fair to everyone.

The Pope is different from the previous pope, Francis, who was very charismatic.

Leo is more quiet and modest.

He also decided to hold another church service on Christmas Day, which was a tradition from a long time ago.
