Pak Sahafat – Pope Francis, the leader of the world Catholics, said in an interview with Telemundo, an American Spanish-language television channel: The war between Russia and Ukraine is a “political problem” and peace is possible only through bilateral negotiations.
In response to the question of whether Russia should withdraw from the entire territory of Ukraine in order to achieve peace, the Pope said: Peace will be achieved one day when Russia and Ukraine can talk to each other either directly or through the mediation of others.
“All of Europe, America” ​​is behind Ukraine, Pope Francis said of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s refusal to accept his mediation efforts.
He explained: Ukrainians do not pay much attention to peace talks because the Ukrainian bloc is actually very strong and all of Europe and America support them. In other words, they have a lot of power.
The Kremlin announced on Friday that the Russian president stressed that the country is ready for dialogue with Kiev.
