Pope Leo XIV expressed solidarity with the people of Ukraine and once again called for the resumption of negotiations.
“My heart is united with the suffering of the people of Ukraine, who have lived in anguish and fear for years. I renew my appeal to put an end to the violence, halt the destruction, and open hearts to dialogue and peace! I hope that the efforts undertaken in recent days to resume negotiations will bear concrete fruit and make room for diplomacy,” the pontiff wrote on X.
He called on the faithful to pray for harmony to prevail in every conflict around the world.
