Pope Leo XIV sharply condemned the Russian attacks on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine.
Reuters writes about it.
In his address, he emphasized that new strikes in the midst of winter cold are causing enormous suffering to the civilian population.
The pontiff prays for the victims and demands an immediate end to the violence.
These attacks are not just military operations, but a blow to the foundations of Ukrainian survival.
Without electricity, heating and water, millions of people are trapped in the freezing cold, where temperatures drop below zero.
Leo XIV emphasized: “In Ukraine, new serious attacks on the energy infrastructure in the conditions of increasing cold are causing significant damage to the civilian population.”
It is not the first time that the head of the Catholic Church intervenes in the conflict. Earlier, he called for a Christmas truce, but Russia refused.
Now, in January 2026, Leo XIV renews the appeal: “I pray for those who are suffering and I again call for an end to violence and renewed efforts to achieve peace.”
It will be recalled that after the capture of Maduro, the Pope called on the USA to preserve the sovereignty of Venezuela.
Also, light throughout Ukraine is under threat due to new strikes.
