Pope Francis sends medicines to Ukraine

The Vatican has sent an aid package with numerous first aid medications to Ukraine, another gesture by Pope Francis that shows his concern for the “martyred” country.

There have been numerous occasions on which the Holy Father has denounced the conflict in Ukraine, which began in February 2022 with the invasion of the territory by the Russian army.

Pope Francis uses most of his public appearances to ask for prayers for people suffering from conflicts in his country, especially in Ukraine, Myanmar and the Holy Land.

The Pontiff usually makes these calls for peace at the end of the General Audience that he presides over every Wednesday from St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican and also after the Angelus prayer every Sunday from the window of the Apostolic Palace.

In addition to asking for prayers for the victims, meeting with those affected and his diplomatic efforts, the Pontiff’s concern has been expressed with gestures of solidarity over the course of these more than two years.

From sending several ambulances or food to the country at war, as well as the visit of his apostolic almoner, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, Pope Francis continues to support these people and raise awareness about the seriousness of a conflict that he has come to define as “ forgotten”.

As reported Vatican NewsLast Saturday, June 1, a package with medicines valued at one hundred thousand euros was sent from the Vatican, a donation that arrived through the Apostolic Almoners through an embassy to the Holy See, of which no greater amounts have been offered. details.
