The Primate of the Roman Catholic Church spoke for about 40 minutes with the Russian Ambassador to the Vatican Alexander Avdeev about the humanitarian situation in Ukraine. It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the head of the diplomatic mission.
“Pope Francis expressed great concern over the situation of the entire population, both in the Donbass (he did not know about it) and in other areas, and urged to take care of children, take care of the sick and suffering, take care of people,” the diplomat said.
Caring for others is the main goal of a Christian, the head of the Holy See emphasized.
Earlier, Para Rimsky, in a letter to the chairman of the World Union of Old Believers, Leonid Sevastyanov, called the possible war between the West and Russia over Donbas discussed in the press crazy.
Prior to this, Francis proposed to hold a Day of Prayer for Peace in connection with the situation around Ukraine.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to conduct a military special operation in Ukraine after the request of the heads of the DPR and LPR Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik for help. The Ukrainian authorities in response broke off diplomatic relations with Moscow, introduced martial law and announced a general mobilization.
