(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 12 - Pope Francis on Wednesday made a
fresh appeal for an end to the war in Ukraine following days of
intense bombing by Russia.
Speaking at his weekly general audience, the pontiff said he
hoped God would "transform the hearts of those who hold the fate
of the war in their hands, so that the hurricane of violence may
cease and peaceful coexistence in justice may be rebuilt".

people, especially to the inhabitants of the places where the
bombings have raged." (ANSA).
