Zelensky Expresses Hope for Pope Leo XIV's Support on Ukraine's Behalf
Zelensky expresses optimism for backing from upcoming Pontiff Leo XIV for Ukraine's causes - Zelensky expresses hopes for backing from the newly appointed Pope Leo XIV for Ukraine's cause
Hey there! Here's a fresh take on a recent news story about Ukraine.
Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky, expressed his hopes for Pope Leo XIV, the newly elected leader of the Vatican, to continue the support started under Pope Francis' reign. This hope stems from the Vatican's long-standing stance against Russia's military aggression against Ukraine and their protection of innocent civilians. Zelensky wished the new Pope "all the wisdom, inspiration, and strength – both spiritual and physical – in fulfilling his mission".
Although Pope Leo XIV has yet to publicly state his stance on the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials have called on the Vatican to maintain its historical commitment to international law and peace in Ukraine. The Vatican, under Pope Francis, had been a significant voice in favor of peace, maintaining regular communication with Kyiv throughout Russia's assault.
Ukraine's leaders understand the value of the Vatican's moral and spiritual backing in their quest for justice and peace. They acknowledge the importance of the Vatican's continued support in the diplomatic efforts surrounding this crisis.
