Pope Francis on Wednesday appealed to
stop the "monstrous and savage" Ukraine war.
Speaking at the end of his weekly general audience in the
Vatican, Francis gave a "particularly affectionate greeting" to
a group of Ukrainian children and said: "With this greeting to
the children we turn our attention again to this monstrosity of
war and renew prayers that this savage cruelty which is war may
be stopped".
The children are being hosted by the Catholic Puer Association
and the Ukrainian embassy to the Holy See.
