ROME — Pope Francis said in an interview that Ukraine, facing a possible defeat, should have the courage to negotiate an end to the war with Russia and not be ashamed to sit at the same table to carry out peace talks.The pope made his appeal during an interview recorded last month with Swiss broadcaster RSI, which was partially released on Saturday, March 9, 2024.
He issued a statement of clarification after the pope’s “white flag” comments sparked criticism that he was siding with Russia in the conflict.Throughout the war, Francis has tried to maintain the Vatican’s traditional diplomatic neutrality, but that has often been accompanied by apparent sympathy with the Russian rationale for invading Ukraine, such as when he noted that North Atlantic Treaty Organization was “barking at Russia’s door” with its eastward expansion.
