Vatican City: Pope Francis on Sunday urged to find a diplomatic solution to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and said please do not bring ‘humanity to ruin,’ the media reported.
The Pope said while renewing his appeal to the national leaders.
“While the fury of death and destruction continues and conflicting positions spread, fueling an escalation that is increasingly dangerous for everyone, I renew an appeal to national leaders: Please do not bring humanity to ruin, do not bring humanity to ruin,” CNN quoted Pope as saying after his Regina Coeli prayer on Pentecost, appearing at a window of the papal apartments overlooking St. Peter’s Square.
The Pope emphasized real negotiations and concrete talks for a ceasefire and sustainable solution.
“Carry out real negotiations, concrete talks for a ceasefire and for a sustainable solution. Listen to the desperate cry of the people who are suffering – we see it every day in the media – respect human life, stop the macabre destruction of cities and villages everywhere,” Pope added.
On Saturday, while speaking to a child from Ukraine, Pope said that he wants to visit Ukraine and will talk about a possible trip with Ukrainian officials.
