If the Vatican wants to play a role in the case of peaceful negotiations, then he should be ready to call a spade a spade and assign all the responsibility directly to Russia for inciting war against Ukraine, said the Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba during communication with the National Catholic Reporter journalists, ACI Stampa, Ansa, La Croix and Vatican News.
Kuleba called on the Pope not to use the argument to call a spade a spade and not be neutral in his public comments, since the Ukrainian side does not accept such rhetoric.
“Pope Francis cannot simultaneously call the governments to both Russia and Ukraine to stop the war, since it seems that both sides are part of the responsibility. When you say:” I urge Putin President to stop the war, “this is quite logical because it is quite logical because President Putin began the war, and this is what you urge him to do. But, calling Zelensky to be open to serious peace negotiations, dad gives the impression that the Ukrainian president is “not open to peaceful proposals” and that he is supposedly necessary for this, that It simply does not correspond to reality, ”Kuleba noted.
