🕊️ 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.
