“We entrust to St. Joseph the peoples of Ukraine and the Holy Land, Palestine, Israel, who suffer so much because of the horror of war,” said the Sovereign Pontiff, at the end of his weekly audience at the Vatican.

Addressing the thousands of faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square, Pope Francis added: “We cannot continue the war. We must do everything we can to discuss, to negotiate, to end the war.”

In an interview published on March 9, the head of the Catholic Church called on Ukraine to “raise a white flag and negotiate” to end the war “before things get worse.”
