Pope Francis has called for an end to the war in Ukraine, which he described as an "act of violent aggression and a sacrilege without justification." In an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, the Pope said that Ukraine should have "the courage of the white flag" and that there was no justification for the war. "It is a sacrilege because it is a war between Christians," the Pope said. "It is a war between brothers." The Pope's comments came as the war in Ukraine entered its ninth month. The conflict has caused widespread death and destruction, and has displaced millions of people. The Pope has repeatedly called for an end to the war, and has urged the international community to do more to help the people of Ukraine.
The Pope's comments were welcomed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who said that they were a "powerful message of peace and hope." Zelensky said that he was grateful for the Pope's support, and that he hoped that the Pope's words would help to end the war. "The Pope's words are a powerful message of peace and hope for all Ukrainians," Zelensky said. "We are grateful for his support, and we hope that his words will help to end this senseless war."
The Pope's comments were also welcomed by the international community. The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, said that the Pope's words were a "timely reminder of the need for peace." Guterres said that he hoped that the Pope's words would help to bring an end to the war and to the suffering of the people of Ukraine. "The Pope's words are a timely reminder of the need for peace," Guterres said. "We hope that his words will help to bring an end to this senseless war and to the suffering of the people of Ukraine."
