Ukraine war: Pope calls for talks on ending war in Ukraine
On the flight back from France, Leo XIV calls for solutions to the war between Russia and Ukraine. The two sides must sit down at a table.
Pope Leo XIV has called for new international efforts to negotiate an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine. He urged leaders from Russia, Ukraine, and other countries to meet and discuss solutions to the conflict. The war has been ongoing for over four and a half years, and despite Vatican mediation efforts, no progress has been made. The Pope warned against a new arms race, criticizing the large sums spent on the arms industry while problems like hunger, housing shortages, and unemployment remain unsolved.
