AT PENTECOST ANGELUS MESSAGE & BLESSING, POPE FRANCIS APPEALS FOR NEGOTIATIONS TO END RUSSIA'S WAR ON UKRAINE
At the traditional noonday Sunday Angelus in Saint Peter's Square at the Vatican, on Pentecost Sunday 5 June 2022, Pope Francis, spoke about the horrific war that Russia continues to wage on Ukraine. The 100th day of the war had just passed and the Holy Father was cheered by the crowd below when he repeated his heartfelt appeal that all those involved - the aggressor, but also those others who could do so much to help - would "not bring humanity to ruin! Do not bring humanity to ruin!"
Here is a video dubbed with an English voice-over translation:
(blessing begins at 29:00 followed by comments about Ukraine...)
На П'ятидесятницю Папа Франциск закликає припинити знищення людства, якому загрожує війна Росії проти України.
