The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine caused the apostolic nuncy after the words of the pope about the death of Dugina

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine caused the Apostolic Nuncy in Ukraine Visvaldas Kulbokas in connection with the statements of the Pama of the Roman Francis about the death of Daria Dugina . Kulbokasu was said that in Ukraine they were “deeply disappointed” with the words of the pope, who unfairly equate the aggressor and the victim. ” "At the same time, the decision of Pope Francis is not understanding to mention the death of a Russian citizen in Russia in the context of the Russian -Ukrainian war, to which Ukraine has nothing to do," the ministry noted.

The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine drew attention to the fact that the pontiff never paid special attention to the specific victims of the war, among whom are already 376 Ukrainian children who died at the hands of Russian invaders.

The Foreign Ministry expresses the hope that "in the future, the Holy throne will avoid unfair statements that cause disappointment in Ukrainian society."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba noted that the invitation of the Apostolic Nuncy to the Foreign Ministry is the rarest case. “I must say directly that the Ukrainian heart is torn from the words of the pope. It was unfair,” Kuleba added.

On Wednesday, Pope, at the end of the general audience, made a speech on the occasion of six months of full -scale war in Ukraine. “I think about children, about many dead, about numerous refugees - here, in Italy, there are a lot of them - about many wounded, many orphaned Ukrainian children and Russian children. Orphans have no nationality, they lost their father or mother - Russian or Ukrainian ... I think about that poor girl who died due to the bomb, exploded under the seat of her car in Moscow. Innocent, innocent, let's think about this reality and say to each other: war is madness.

In early May, Pope said in an interview with Corriere Della Sera that Russia's aggression in Ukraine could be caused by "barking NATO at the door of Russia." Dad is not sure that “anger (from Putin’s side. - Ed.) Was provoked,” but he believes that such a reaction “contributed”.

According to the pontiff, he does not know how to relate to the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine, since it is "too far." “What is clear is that weapons are testing on this earth ... War are waged for this - to experience the weapon that we created,” he said.

In June, in an interview with the Jesuit magazine, La Civiltà Cattolica Francis again said that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was "possibly provoked in some way." The pontiff condemned the "ferocity, the cruelty of the Russian troops", but warned against the perception of war as a fabulous confrontation of good and evil.

On April 15, Coliseus in Rome passed a traditional procession led by Francis. The cross was carried by Ukrainian and Russian. Representatives of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the Ambassador of Ukraine to the Vatican Andrei Yurash opposed such a ceremony.
