The Vatican press service explained the words of the Pope, which he said in an interview with Swiss radio and television: Pope Francis calls for a ceasefire and the resumption of negotiations, not the surrender of Ukraine, writes Vatican News. As noted by the head of the press service of the Vatican, Matteo Bruni, the Pope uses the term "white flag" and in response uses the image suggested by the interviewer to denote the cessation of hostilities, a truce achieved thanks to the courage of negotiations. "Elsewhere in the interview, speaking of another conflict situation, but referring to any military situation, the Pope made it clear: 'Negotiations are never surrender.' To the question of journalist Lorenzo Bukcell, what is the opinion of the Pontiff regarding the fact that in Ukraine there are those who call for the courage to surrender, to show the white flag, Francis answered: "This is an interpretation, but I believe that the stronger is the one who sees the situation, who thinks about people who have the courage of the white flag to negotiate. And today it is possible to negotiate with the help of international forces. The word "negotiate" is a bold word. When you see that you are defeated, that things are not going well, you must have courage to negotiate. Shame on you, but how many deaths will it end in? Negotiate in time, look for some country to mediate. Today, for example, in the war in Ukraine, there are many who want to mediate. Turkey, she offered herself for this. And others. Feel free to negotiate before it gets worse." According to the press service of the Vatican, the "white flag" is nothing more than a call for peace talks. At the same time, Pope Francis' statement caused a wave of indignation in Ukraine. The most complete picture of today will definitely be on our website. Let's hold on and bring Victory closer! |
