Pope Francis says ‘massacre’ in Ukraine must stop
Pope Francis issues a heartfelt plea for an end to the “massacre” and the “unacceptable armed attack” in Ukraine, which Russia invaded last month.
Speaking after his weekly Angelus prayers Sunday, he condemns the “barbarity” of killing children and civilians, adding: “In the name of God… stop this massacre.”
