After praying the Sunday Angelus, Pope Francis renewed his call to end the war in Ukraine, which turned two years old yesterday, and pleaded that “that little bit of humanity be found” to achieve a diplomatic solution.
“Yesterday, February 24, we painfully remembered the second anniversary of the start of the large-scale war in Ukraine. “How many victims, injuries, destruction, anguish, tears in a period that is becoming terribly long and of which the end is not yet in sight!”, expressed the Pope to the 20 thousand faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square.
The Pontiff added that this is a conflict “that is not only devastating that region of Europe, but is unleashing a global wave of fear and hatred.”
