He stated this during a videoconference with Ukrainian youth, reports Vatican News.
During the event, the Pontiff read the prayer and answered the questions of Ukrainians living in Ukraine and beyond.
The first to the head of the Catholic Church was addressed by a 21-year-old teacher from Uzhgorod Ilyana Good. The girl wondered the opinion of Pope Francis on whether to die for her homeland and how in the face of war to support faith in the protection of life.
The pontiff replied that “cure is a dialogue” through which “peace is built.”
“Today, the importance of life is depreciated. More importance than human life is given to money and military positions.
The war always destroys. Please never get tired of dialogue with yourself and even with those who resist us. It is true that sometimes dialogue is impossible because of stubbornness some but we should always make an effort “– the Pope explained.
Another Ukrainian, 27-year-old Julia, asked how the peace can be seen if the genocide of our people continues. ” The head of the Catholic Church did not respond to it, but condemned the consequences of the war, remembering conflict between Israel and the Gaza Sector.

“War brings famine. Every night I call the parish in gas and they tell me that often starving. The war not only causes hunger – it kills”– added Pope Francis.
35-year-old Tatiana from Chicago noted that Ukrainian children were forced to flee from “Modern Herod” and asked how to forgive and teach the next generations.
“I am helped by the thought: I have to forgive me forgive me. The art of forgiveness is not easy but we should continue to move forward and always forgive”– the Pope replied.
