The press service of the pontiff explained how his words about the death of the daughter of the ideologist of the “Russian world” should be understood.
The Pope’s press service responded to the accusations against him by the Ukrainian government. We are talking about Francis’ statement that he regrets the death of the “innocent victim” of the war, Daria Dugina. This was stated in the statement of the Press Service of the Holy See, according to Vatican News.
The main purpose of the statements of the pope and his entourage is to “call pastors and believers to prayer, and all people of good will to unity and efforts to restore peace,” they said.
“Repeatedly, and also in recent days, there have been public discussions about the political significance that should be attached to such statements. In this regard, it is again emphasized that the words of the Holy Father on this dramatic issue should be considered- regard as a voice raised in defense of human life and related values, and not as a political position,” the press service insisted.
In addition, Francis’ statements about the Russian-led war in Ukraine were “clear in condemning it as morally unjust, unacceptable, barbaric, senseless, disgusting and blasphemous.”
Remember that the Pope called Dugin “an innocent victim of war.” To this, the Ukrainian ambassador to the Vatican replied that “one cannot speak in the same categories about the aggressor and the victim, the rapist and the raped.”
In addition, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry invited the Apostolic Nuncio (Ambassador) to Ukraine, Archbishop Visvaldas Kulbokas, to express disappointment with the words of Pope Francis regarding the deceased Russian propagandist Daria Dugina.
