During the Easter mass in St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican, held on April 9, the pontiff mentioned the Ukrainians. He urged to help “beloved Ukrainian people on their way to peace.” The Pope also addressed the Russians, asking them to seek the truth about their country’s invasion of Ukraine. It is reported by Reuters.
Shed the light of Easter on the people of Russia,” he said.
In a prayer, the Pope asked “to console the wounded and all those who lost loved ones due to the war.”
Open the hearts of the entire international community to strive to end this war and all the conflicts and bloodshed in our world, he added.
In addition, the pontiff called for peace in the Middle East against the background of another escalation in Jerusalem.
Recall that in November 2022, Pope Francis, in an interview with Vatican News, recognized Russia as an attacker on Ukraine. Also, the pontiff then explained why he does not call the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin the aggressor.
