"Peace is better": Pope again called on Ukraine before negotiations with Russia

During the speech, the pontiff pointed to the tragic consequences that await Ukraine in the event of refusing to start the peaceful negotiation with the Kremlin. Pope Francis called for peace in the world against the background of wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Sector. In his opinion, "peace has achieved better than an endless war. " He said CBS News. "Please. The countries that are at war, all of them, stop the war. Look for talks. Look for peace," the Pope said.

Pontiff stressed that negotiations could help in an endless war and called on the parties to dialogue. He said that he calls the parishioners every day and listened to stories about their experiences and reported that he was thinking about the war in Ukraine, the devastating consequences and suffering of Ukrainian children. "These children are unable to smile. I tell them something, but they have learned to smile. And it's very difficult when a child forgets to smile. It's really serious.

Very serious," Pontyific said. In May, the Vatican will take place the first World Child Day - a two -day event dedicated to children from 5 to 12 years. The event seeks to answer the question: "What world do we want to leave the children who are growing now?" We will remind that on March 9, the Pope stated that Ukraine should find the courage to throw away the "white flag" in front of Russia.
