President Volodymyr Zelensky had a phone conversation with Pope Francis on Friday to tell him about Russia’s terrible crimes against the Ukrainian people.

He said he thanked the pontiff for his prayers, told him about Russia’s aggression…..and also asked for support.

In a Twitter post Zelensky said that he had briefed the Pope on Russia’s aggression against his country and “its horrible crimes”. He also pointing out Ukraine’s need for “support of world spiritual leaders who should convey to the world the truth about acts of horror committed by the aggressor.”

Breitbart reports: I thanked Pope Francis for praying for Ukraine during a talk with him,” Zelensky wrote in a separate post on Instagram. “I spoke about Russia’s aggression and the terrible crimes against our state.”

As Vatican News reported, Friday’s phone call was the third conversation between the two leaders since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the first being on February 26 and the second on March 22.

The Ukrainian Ambassador to the Holy See, Andrii Yurash, took advantage of the news story to reiterate Ukraine’s invitation to Francis to visit Kyiv. “Ukrainian state and society will be happy to greet the Holy Father,” he said on Twitter, adding that a “papal touch” to this suffering land can help “stop war and install peace.”

As Breitbart News reported, last Saturday, Pope Francis met with Yurash to discuss a possible visit to Ukraine. The ambassador suggested that the visit could take place before the pope’s trip to Kazakhstan, scheduled for September 13-15.

  1. He should focus on his own crimes against the people of Ukraine and the World. America need to stop funding this dictator along with many other people and Countries

    • Give it a rest If he were African or Chinese or American would you be saying, oh the Pope’s American? He’s spent his life in Catholicism and especially as being a Jesuit. Zelensky’s been a clown, not a rabbi.

      • It’s all about playing the political game in the accumulating of Land and Capital; that’s what it’s all about.

        You’ve been pointed in the right direction, if you don’t go that’s your problem.

        • the russian/china complex Has all the minerals metals and food and workers and has since the start-SILK ROAD was the first industrial complex.So it is not just capital it`s commodity security and allies-Your`ll find your way sooner or later.But it is not about accumulation it`s about having them first and securing them and commoditys always beat out capital in the long haul

          • The New World Order is about Power and Domination. Dominate to extract every $$$ from their wage slaves, and created an economy and a society based on that principle..

      • No Z was never a popular leader in the largely jewish ucraina he is just holding a gun to their heads and 50% of the population has left and 90% of those still there are displaced so he has genicided the whole country for the west

  2. Because they’re worried about Kazakhstan loyalty to Russia They’ve been working hard at destroying that relationship for years and years now using every bit of subversion possible and no doubt the Pope will be doing his best to split them apart too.
    Why he would go to Ukraine is mysterious Is he going to prey for piece

  3. They played Twister and the Pope got a hand job…
    “This is extremely dangerous to our democracy…”
