Pope Francis renewed his appeal on Sunday to government leaders to seek a diplomatic solution to end the war in Ukraine.
“As the fury of death and destruction continues and conflicting positions spread, fueling an escalation increasingly dangerous for all, I renew a plea to national leaders: please do not ruin humanity.” The statement was made after his Pentecost prayer, appearing in a window of the papal apartment overlooking St. Peter’s Square.
“Have real negotiations, concrete talks for a ceasefire and a sustainable solution. Hear the desperate cry of the suffering people – we see this every day in the media – respect human life, stop the macabre destruction of cities and villages everywhere,” he added.
On Saturday, the pontiff told a child that he wants to visit Ukraine and will discuss a possible trip with Ukrainian officials.
The Pope made an appeal on Wednesday to lift the blockade on Ukraine’s wheat exports.
