Pope Francis has called for an end to the war in Ukraine, saying that a “negotiated peace is better than a war without end”.
The Pope told CBS: “Please. Countries at war, all of them, stop the war. Look to negotiate. Look for peace.”
In March, the Pope angered Ukrainian officials after saying Kyiv should have the courage of “the white flag”.
Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said at the time that the country “shall never raise any other flags” and urged the Vatican to “support Ukraine and its people in their just struggle for their lives”.
