Pope appeals for peace in Ukraine
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
on Wednesday once again appealed for peace in Ukraine, urging all parties in
the conflict, as well as international bodies, to “strengthen the initiatives
to resolve the conflict, release the hostages, and respond to the humanitarian
emergency.”
The Holy Father assured
Ukrainians of his continued prayers for peace.
The appeal comes on Ukraine’s
Independence Day, this year marking the 25th anniversary of independence from
the former Soviet Union.
The full text of the
Pope’s appeal for Ukraine.
“In these last weeks, the
international Observers have expressed concern for the worsening situation in
eastern Ukraine. Today, as that dear Nation celebrates its national holiday –
which this year coincides with the 25th anniversary of independence – I assure
them of my prayer for peace and I renew my appeal to all the parties involved
and to the international bodies that they might strengthen the initiatives to
resolve the conflict, release the hostages, and respond to the humanitarian
emergency.”
