Pope makes personal appeal in remarkable Russia embassy trip - KPRC2
FILE - Pope Francis meets Russian President Vladimir Putin on the occasion of their private audience at the Vatican on June 10, 2015. Pope Francis went to the Russian Embassy on Friday, Feb. 25, 2022 to personally express his concern about the war, the Vatican said, in an extraordinary, hands-on papal gesture that has no recent precedent.
Just this week, at the end of his Wednesday general audience, he refrained from naming Russia when he urged political leaders to examine their conscience before God and avoid actions that harm civilians and “discredit international law.” “The Ukrainian people whom he is courageously defending are crying to the world: 'Stop the war,'" His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk said in a statement issued by his office from Kyiv, where he has been hunkered down in an air raid shelter.
