Pope Francis said at his weekly
general audience in the Vatican Wednesday that Ukraine was
continuing to suffer terribly from Russian aggression.
The Pope asked everyone to pray for peace throughout the world
and an end to all conflicts.
He mentioned in particular "the terrible suffering of the dear
and martyred people of Ukraine."
He then recalled last Saturday's anniversary of the terrible
genocide of the Holodomor, the extermination by hunger in
1932-1933 artificially caused by Stalin.
"Let us pray for the victims of this genocide and pray for the
all Ukrainians, the children, the women and the elderly, the
babies, who are today suffering the martyrdom of aggression."
