ROME – The Pope has spoken of Ukraine needing to consider negotiations to end the ongoing war with Russia.
In weighing up the debate between those who say it is time for Ukraine to consider a negotiated settlement and those who argue the country must fight on, the Pope has said he believes “the strongest one is the one who looks at the situation, thinks about the people and has the courage of the white flag, and negotiates”.
His comments came to light on 9 March, with the publication of a recent papal interview that was given to Italian journalist Lorenzo Buccella from the Swiss broadcaster RSI, and which is expected to be broadcast on March 20 as part of a new cultural program.
