Pope Francis on Wednesday condemned “the massacre of Bucha’ and kissed a Ukrainian flag that was sent to him from the town where bound bodies shot at close range, a mass grave and other signs of executions were found.
“Recent news from the war in Ukraine, instead of bringing relief and hope, brought new atrocities, such as the massacre of Bucha,” he said at the end of his weekly audience.
“Cruelty that is increasingly horrendous, even against civilians, defenceless women and children. They are victims whose innocent blood cries out up to heaven and implores: ‘Stop this war!'” he told an audience at the Vatican on Wednesday, Reuters reports.
