Vatican City: Pope Francis has said that he is ready to do anything for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and will also try to mediate. In an interview given to the Italian newspaper La Stampa, Pope Francis realised that the world has not yet learned the lessons from the two previous world wars. Earlier, in his address to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Pope Francis warned that we are going through a third world war.
Moreover, the Italian daily questioned the Supreme Leader of Christianity, Pope Francis, regarding the ongoing efforts by the Vatican for peace talks in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In response, Pope Francis claimed that peace was possible in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and that there was no reason for anyone to give up hope. Everyone should remove the thoughts of conflict from his heart. The supply of weapons for violence must stop. We should all strive for lasting peace. If only ceasefire is considered, armed conflict will occur again. True peace can be achieved through negotiations, said Pope Francis.
Peace cannot be achieved through arms. Because hatred and hegemonic ambitions cannot be defeated with the help of weapons, Pope Francis realised during the interview. Pope Francis regretted that human society had not learned any lessons from the previous two world wars. He also claimed that these world wars were behind factors such as hunger for power, growing anger, and suffering from arms smuggling.
After the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Pope Francis has consistently expressed his critical views on this matter. While expressing deep sorrow over the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Pope Francis said that only innocent people are being killed. After the Ukraine conflict, he made quite a stir by saying that humanity is heading towards World War III, claiming that the conflict was ignited by US and NATO aggression. There were strong reactions from Ukraine.
