During the phone call, in addition to matters of mutual interest, special attention was paid to the situation in Ukraine and peace.

The Pope made an appeal for Russia to make a gesture that would promote peace, stressed the importance of dialogue for the realization of positive s between the parties and seek solutions to the conflict.

The humanitarian situation was discussed, the need to facilitate aid where needed, ongoing efforts to exchange prisoners and the value of Cardinal Zuppi's work in this regard.

Pope Leo referred to Patriarch Kirill, thanking him for the good wishes he received at the beginning of his pontificate, and emphasized how common Christian values can be a light to help seek peace, defend life and seek genuine religious freedom.”

Putin is a stubborn type and a destroyer. He has taken more Lives in the world, than he helped

I'm sure he will not Listen to the Pope, because I'm sure the late Pope did make same call when the war was ongoing.

Imagine the joy around the world the day Russians will elect their new Leader

Going by the wise words of Jesus in Matthew 20:26-28, and with respect to Putin's, Greatness is not defined by destructive tendencies or magnitude of territory as Putin posited. He said he wants to be great like one other Russian guy(Peter the great or so).
Greatness is embeded in ability to positively serve (or impact the lives) of others.

Greatness is not mandate theft neither. It isn't pocket size. It isn't by ability to secure what generation unborn will live on and eat. It isnt by legacy projects for the pure sake of it.

There are so many great fools and destroyers on the earth today violently chasing after what they can destroy across time(fools) and space(destroyers) thinking magnitude makes one great without positive impact. To them, good and bad are debatable and dont operate on a binary switch. Good and bad is same for all men and never open to personal interpretation or perspectives.

He was reelected about a year ago. Elections in Russia are useless most times. From the time Joe Stalin, it has been like that. Communism ensures a mafia-like elite and selection process. That same process has provided the perfect facade for a dictator to rise and reign supreme in their affairs.

Putin that have lost over 30% of Russian indigenous troops and now depending on foreign soldiers he is getting through deceptive friendship with some African and Asian country Presidents who thinks he meant well for them not knowing that he is only forming friendship with them so that they can give him their soldiers to help him fight his senseless war with Ukraine cheesy



Putin want the war to end but ego and shame wont let him quit because the whole world, especially Western leaders will so laugh at his foolishness of starting the war in the first place by underrating Ukraine that is now going after Russian military planes and formations without fear shocked


Putin's senseless threat of "I will use nuclear weapon if anybody give Ukraine ammunition to strike deep inside Russia" don cast, Ukraine is now striking deep inside Russia, destroying handful of Russian best warplanes, bombers, missile launchers, air defense systems and even top military Generals.



In this life, don't push someone to the wall thinking they can't do anything, even goat can bite when pushed to the wall shocked

The war has given British and European leaders license to launder funds and weapons abroad all in d name of helping Ukraine.

Those weapons are sold to militants tru black market channels.

Pope should not shook mouth too much on this cos they can assassinate or poison him.

Africans!..tueh, Wat rubbish did I just read above?

I would want to believe all those useless comments above (not worth quoting) are Western bots and not Africans, how can some people be dis daft about global events and still litter their uninformed opinions here...on Nairaland of all places.

Pope didn't call Zelensky to stop him from punching up and making suicidal moves, it's Putin that loves his country and has never been aggressive to any country outside his hemisphere that he will call .

All Russian wars are for Russians.

Russia doesn't need anything from the West, surviving the most draconian and demonic sanctions on earth has proven that, the world needs Russia.

grin 1. Ukraine cannot NATO.
2. Ukraine cannot be allowed to arm and serve as a springboard to attack Russia
3. After the 2023 referendum, Donbas is no more part of Ukraine
4. Pope should rather call NATO, to desist from militarism, expansionism and attacking other nations.
5. Russia cannot allow itself to be broken into 11 different countries without a fight
6. The breakup of USSR was a tragedy afterall, as it paved way for unchecked Western military hegemony
7. China, Iran, North Korea and Russia should actively TEAM UP militarily against ANY NATO aggression. Else, NATO will take you out one by one.

This should tell us something about this Pope. Isn't he seeing what's going on in Gaza? .... tens of thousands of civilians intentionally targeted and killed but that doesn't move him. It's for us to recognize wolves in sheep's clothing. Racists everywhere.

I'm on your side jare. Pope should have called both side including the NATO. Why calling Putin after the damage has been done? It's because putin will definitely retaliate.

Note this, Putin will never back off without dominating parts of Ukraine.

He knew NATO won't give up too but expecting him to stop the war without dominating part of Ukraine is not going to happen. Probably they will end this war soon, and Ukraine will NATO but definitely loose part of it's country to Russia. That's 50/50, No pain no gain.

Elections in Russia is inconsequential because the Russian Presidency is a cabal, and Putin instals whoever he wants.

Putin is flexing his muscle with small Ukraine yet he couldn't make any serious headway after three years what will happen if he faces country like China.

It's important he yielded to the peace move from the Pope because Adolf Hitler that's even more powerful than him ended up in shame.
