Pope Francis said that the people of Ukraine were victims of brutal attacks and torture. In his speech in St. Peter’s Square, the Pope called for solidarity with the people of Ukraine under Russian aggression.
The Pope cited a conversation he had with Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, who heads the Church’s services in Ukraine. Cardinal Konrad said that he had seen first hand the victims of the brutal attack on the Ukrainian people.
“There he saw dead bodies of people who had been brutally tortured. We must unite with those noble, martyred people.’ – Papa said.
