The Pope condemned the killings in Ukraine and kissed the Ukrainian flag from Bucha (video)

This is stated in the plot of the agency Vatican News.

The head of the Catholic Church called for an end to the killing of civilians in Ukraine. According to him, the news from Ukraine, " instead of bringing relief and hope, testify to new atrocities, like the massacre in Bucha ."

Acts of cruelty are on the rise, also against the civilian population, defenseless women and children. These are victims whose innocent blood cries out to heaven and begs: "Let this war be put to an end! Silence the weapons! Let no more death and destruction be sown!" said the pontiff.

He also invited several refugee children from Ukraine to the stage, unfurled the Ukrainian flag and kissed it.

This flag came from the war, from this long-suffering city of Buchi. And there are several Ukrainian children here, who are now here with us. Let's congratulate them and pray together for them," he commented.
