Pope Francis has revealed that a secret peace 바카라mission바카라 in Russia's war in Ukraine was underway, though he gave no details, and said the Vatican is willing to help facilitate the return of Ukrainian children taken to Russia during the war.
바카라I'm available to do anything,바카라 Francis said on Sunday during an airborne press conference en route home from Hungary. 바카라There's a mission that's not public that's underway; when it's public I'll talk about it.바카라
Francis gave no details when asked whether he spoke about peace initiatives during his talks in Budapest this weekend with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban or the representative of the Russian Orthodox Church in Hungary.
Deportations of Ukrainian children have been a concern since Russia invaded Ukraine last year. Francis said the Holy See had already helped mediate some prisoner exchanges and would do 바카라all that is humanly possible바카라 to reunite families.
바카라All human gestures help. Gestures of cruelty don't help,바카라 Francis said.
The International Criminal Court in March issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia's children's commissioner, accusing them of war crimes for abducting children from Ukraine. Russia has denied any wrongdoing, contending the children were moved for their safety.
Last week Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal met with Francis at the Vatican and asked him to help return Ukrainian children taken following the Russian invasion.
바카라I asked His Holiness to help us return home Ukrainians, Ukrainian children who are detained, arrested, and criminally deported to Russia,바카라 Shmyhal told the Foreign Press Association after the audience.
Francis recalled that the Holy See had facilitated some prisoner exchanges, working through embassies, and was open to Ukraine's request to reunite Ukrainian children with their families.
The prisoner exchanges 바카라went well. I think it could go well also for this. It's important,바카라 he said of the family reunifications.
바카라The Holy See is available to do it because it's the right thing,바카라 he added. 바카라We have to do all that is humanly possible.바카라
