Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked Pope Francis to intervene in mediating peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, in the face of ‘evil.’

VATICAN CIY (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis has telephoned Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a second time, as Zelenskyy called for the Vatican to intervene in the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Zelenskyy announced the call via a tweet from his official social media account Tuesday, saying that he had discussed the “difficult humanitarian situation and the blocking of rescue corridors by Russian troops” with Pope Francis.

The president also called for the intervention of the Vatican in resolving the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. “The mediating role of the Holy See in ending human suffering would be appreciated. Thanked for the prayers for Ukraine and peace,” he said.

Further details about the call are as yet unknown, nor is it not known who requested and instigated the call. LifeSiteNews contacted the Holy See Press Office for further information, but has received none at time of publishing.

Ukraine’s in pectore Ambassador to the Holy See, Andrii Yurash, also shared news of the phone call, describing it as “very promising.”

Pope Francis is the “most awaited guest in Ukraine,” wrote Yurash, as the Pope has already been invited to visit the capital city of Kyiv by the city’s mayor.

The battle of Mariupol will have to be decided before the war will end.

Frank-the-Fouler has zero credibility not only as a Catholic, but as a Christian. As a human

He’s really good at being a.commie POS though - like many south/central American commies of his era. Ain’t It don’t say “commie” lightly. Frank is truly a disgusting bag of neo-communist $***.

No true Christian would GAF about anything Frank has to say. Especially the Eastern Orthodox...who rightfully despise him

Kiev is of less consequence than Mariupol to both Zelensky’s thugs and Putin who will then have the entire coast of Azor and the ports in his control. Azov will fight to the bitter end as they controlled it as their base.

“What the heck does the Pope have to do with this war than any other one he’s stuck his nose in.”

It’s the “Pope’s” vocation to urge Zelensky to throw down his arms to save lives.

The Pope will ask Russia to hold off for a few days in exchange for the Pope letting old KGB agents who persecuted Christians pick the Roman Catholic bishops in Russia like Chicoms do in Cheyna.
