The newly appointed Pope Leo XIV spoke out against Russia’s continued war against Ukraine in an interview on May 9.
Speaking with Peruvian news outlet Semanario Expresión, Pope Leo condemned Russia’s war against Ukraine, characterizing it as a "a true invasion, imperialist in nature, where Russia seeks to conquer territory for reasons of power.”
Pope Leo was appointed just earlier this week on May 8, following the death of Pope Francis on April 21 at the age of 88. On May 7, cardinals officially opened the historic conclave in the Vatican to choose the next head of the Catholic Church.
By clearing naming Russia’s imperialist aspirations in Ukraine, the new pope’s comments come as a departure from his predecessor’s position on the war.
Ah yes Jesus would have wanted us to send more bombs. He famously talked about slapping back harder
Russia and Israel should stop their wars then
Maybe given that the two of them are allies, we should stop sending send weapons altogether.
