Abstract

The article analyses the invocations of the ‹spirit of Helsinki› (the Helsinki Accords of 1975, which saw the Holy See fully involved) during the efforts of Pope Francis and of Vatican diplomacy to end the war in Ukraine following the invasion launched by Russia on 24 February 2022. These invocations were repeated during the first year of the war in Ukraine and showed the distance between the aspirations of the Holy See and those of Russia and Ukraine, but also the difference between Vatican diplomacy and ‹Ostpolitik› in the context of the Cold War and in the 21st-century disruption of the international order.
