End war in Ukraine before it ends humanity, pleads Pope

Pope Francis has again lamented the war in Ukraine and appealed for peace more than a month after Russia’s invasion.

“Enough. Stop it. Silence the weapons. Move seriously toward peace,” Pope Francis said again in remarks after the Sunday Angelus.

Speaking to a crowd of some 30,000 people gathered in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, the Pope said more than a month had passed since “the beginning of this cruel and senseless war that, like every war, represents a defeat for everyone, for every one of us.”
