Details: This is not the first time that the head of the Catholic Church has publicly called for an end to the war in Ukraine.
In his first Christmas address to thousands of believers in St. Peter’s Square in Rome, the pontiff called for peace in Ukraine. At that time, the Pope asked that “the roar of weapons be silenced” and called on the Russian Federation and Ukraine to find the courage for a “sincere, direct and respectful dialogue” with the support of the international community.
On December 24, the Pope also stated that feels “great sadness” about the fact that Russia did not agree to a Christmas truce in the war against Ukraine.
