Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro
Kuleba, told Skytg24 Wednesday that Pope Francis was welcome in
Kyiv whenever he wanted.
"We'll welcome the pope with open arms, Ukraine is with the pope
for peace. Our invitation is still valid, it is a permanently
open invite, he can come at any time.
"I don't know why he hasn't come yet: we have talks with the
Vatican and the invitation has not been rejected," Kuleba added,
saying he was "convinced that people in Ukraine would be very
appreciative and would be happy to welcome the pope in this
period."
