“…Two and a half thousand kilometers away – somewhere out there, engage in virtual mediation between those who want to live and those who want to destroy you,” the President said.

“Russian murderers and torture chambers do not go further across Europe only because they are held back by Ukrainians and Ukrainian women with weapons in their hands and under a blue and yellow flag.”
This statement was made by the President Vladimir Zelensky in an evening video message on March 10, commenting on the Pope’s words about a “white flag” for Ukraine.
VIDEO“When Russian evil started this war on February 24, all Ukrainians stood up for defense. Christians, Muslims, Jews – everyone. I thank every Ukrainian chaplain who is with the army, in the Defense Forces. There, on the front line. They protect life and humanity. They support and prayer, and conversation, and action. This is what the church is – with people. And not two and a half thousand kilometers away – somewhere out there engaged in virtual mediation between those who want to live and those who want to destroy you,” Zelensky reacted.
He thanked everyone who “in Ukraine and with Ukraine is doing everything to save life, I thank everyone who helps and who is really nearby – with actions and prayers.”
< h3>What remark of the head of the Catholic Church is being referred to
Pope Francis said that Ukraine should have, in his words, “the courage to raise the white banner of negotiations” and agree to end the war with Russia.
The Vatican press service subsequently explained that the Pontiff is calling for a ceasefire and the resumption of negotiations, and not the capitulation of Ukraine.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, commenting on Pope Francis’ statement, emphasized that the Russian President can still be encouraged Vladimir Putin must have the courage to withdraw his troops from Ukraine.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that our state will never raise flags other than blue and yellow. Kuleba also called on Saint Prestil “not to repeat the mistakes of the past and to support Ukraine and its people in their just struggle for their lives.” The minister also invited the pontiff to Ukraine.
And the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Svyatoslav (Shevchuk) called on those who do not believe in the victory of Ukraine over Russia to go to confession.
