Destroying civilian structures an international crime-pope

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 2 - Russia's continued hail of missiles destroying civilian structures in Ukraine is an international crime, Pope Francis said Friday.
    "The sacrifice of human lives, the suffering of the population, the indiscriminate destruction of civilian structures, the violation of the principle of humanity are not 'side effects' of war, they are international crimes. This we must say, and repeat it'" said the pope at a meeting in the Vatican with members of the French NGO 'Leader pour la Paix' (leaders for peace).
