By KYIV. May 15 (Interfax-Ukraine) – A meeting with Pope Francis can help stop the aggression, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes.
“I met Pope Francis, and it was a conversation that could really influence history, and could really help stop the evil of aggression,” he said in a video address on Friday.
According to Zelenskyy, he “told about the crimes committed by the Russian invaders against our people, about the deportation of Ukrainian children.”
“Even the exact number of children Russia stole from Ukraine and hid from their relatives, from Ukraine, somewhere in a foreign land, is unknown. I asked His Holiness to help bring our children back home to Ukraine,” the president said.
“I also talked about other points of our peace formula, besides the return of all the deported people and prisoners. And I believe that the will and sincerity of His Holiness can bring the implementation of our formula of peace closer, can bring a just, honest peace closer,” Zelenskyy said.
