Pope Francis invited to kyiv to ask for peace in Ukraine

“We believe that the in-person presence of world religious leaders in kyiv will be the key to saving human lives and paving the way for peace in our city, in our country and beyond,” Klitschko said in a letter to the pope dated March 8. of March.

We offer our help in everything that could be necessary for His Holiness“, adds the mayor of the city, in his message, whose sending was confirmed by the apostolic nuncio in Ukraine, Monsignor Visvaldas Kulbokas.

Klitschko proposes in his letter that “if a trip to kyiv is not possible, we kindly ask for a joint video conference, to record or broadcast live. We will make efforts to include the president (Volodymyr) Zelensky on this call.”

“We ask you, as a spiritual leader, who shows your compassion, to be with the Ukrainian people by spreading together a call for peace,” concludes the mayor.

The war in Ukraine has not been indifferent to Pope Francis, who has made numerous calls for Russia to end its military incursion.

The last of them, and the hardest so far, was the Sunday after the Angelus, when he asked to “stop the massacre” in Ukraine and warned that “cities will become cemeteries.”
