The Pope called Ukrainians and Russians “cousins”, calling for finding a common language.

On December 15, 2024, the Pope visited the French island of Corsica. He gave a speech in which he called for peace throughout the world. He called the Ukrainian and Russian peoples “cousins” and asked for a “long-awaited peace” for both peoples.

He also prayed for peace in other countries, including “Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, the entire Middle East and exhausted Myanmar.”

The Pope said that

“They are brothers, cousins. Let them find a common language! War is always a defeat. Peace to the whole world!

Recently, the head of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, Epiphany, met with the pontiff in the Vatican, where they discussed the war. The Pope expressed his solidarity with the Ukrainians and promised to support them in the future.

These events took place against the backdrop of the Pope's call for mutual understanding between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. The pontiff also prayed for world peace and called for an end to wars in various countries.
