🕊️ Pope Leo Hints At Support For Ukrainian, EU Approach to Peace Talks
“I carry in my heart the sufferings of the beloved Ukrainian people”, said Leo XIV. "Everything must be done to achieve authentic, just and lasting peace as soon as possible."
He also pleaded for “all prisoners to be released and for the children to be able to return to their families”.
This phrasing is close to that used by Kyiv and its EU allies, who argue that a simple halt to fighting will not solve anything, while the US admin. pushes Kyiv to accept a peace deal under Moscow’s terms closer to outright capitulation.
The words of the new pope, elected on May 8, come as Vladimir Putin relaunched the idea of “negotiations without any preconditions”.
In 2022, while still in Peru, Cardinal Robert Prevost, future Leo XIV, had firmly condemned … the “unjust aggression” launched by Moscow, and spoke of “an imperialist invasion” and “crimes against humanity” perpetrated by Russian forces.

The image shows a meal from Dave's Hot Chicken, featuring a fried chicken sandwich and a side of crinkle-cut fries. The sandwich is placed on a piece of branded paper with the Dave's Hot Chicken logo and a cartoon character. It consists of a golden-brown bun with a crispy fried chicken piece inside, accompanied by lettuce and red onion. The fries are in a red container, seasoned with a visible sprinkle of spices, and appear crispy and golden. The fries are served on a piece of branded paper with the same logo and cartoon character. In the background, there is a white napkin and a plastic container, likely for a drink. The overall presentation is casual and appetizing, with the branding clearly visible.
