(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 13 - Countries should send arms to help
Ukraine defend itself from the Russian invasion "under
determined conditions," Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal
Pietro Parolin reiterated Friday.
"I'll repeat what I said at the start on sending arms: there is
a right to armed defence in the case of aggression, that is also
affirmed by the Catechism, under determined conditions," he
said.
"Above all that of proportionality, and then the fact that the
response does not produce greater damage than that of the
aggression.
"In that context we speak of 'just war'.
"The problem of sending arms must be seen within this framework.
"I understand that it is concretely harder to determine it, but
you must have some clear parameters to address it in the most
just and moderate manner possible". (ANSA).
