I Hope Weapons Will Eventually Give Way To Dialogue In Ukraine – Pope Francis

Popular leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis has come out to mark 1,000 days since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

He recently called it a shameful disaster for humanity at an audience attended by First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, and the world has been reacting.

According to him, the current anniversary is a tragic reminder for the victims and the destruction it has caused, and he constantly wishes it never happened.

But at the same time, (it is) a shameful disaster for all humanity.”
