The ambassador to the Vatican emphasized that “it is impossible to speak in the same categories about the aggressor and the victim, the rapist and the raped.”
Pope Francis addressed the weekly general audience and called for “concrete steps” to end the war in Ukraine and avoid the risk of a nuclear catastrophe at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. He also said that arms dealers who profit from war are “criminals who kill humanity.” This was reported by Reuters.
The agency said Francis deviated from the script during the speech. He called the wars “madness” and recalled the death of Russian propagandist Daria Dugina. The pontiff said the woman was “one of the innocent victims of war.”
“The innocent pay for the war, the innocent,” the pope said.
Ukrainians on social networks express their anger at the Pope’s statement and emphasize that with such statements he is acting with the Kremlin’s propaganda.
Ukrainian Ambassador to the Vatican Andriy Yurash reacted to the words of the pontiff. On his Facebook page, he wrote that he was disappointed by the Pope’s statement and could not understand how one of the ideologues of the war could be called an “innocent victim”.
Recall that in the suburbs on August 20, a car exploded with Dugin, the daughter of “Putin’s ideologist” Alexander Dugin, who wrote for the Russian propaganda RT and Tsargrad.
