Pope Francis broke down and cried as he mentioned the suffering of Ukrainians during a traditional prayer at Rome’s Spanish Steps.

The pope’s voice trembled as he mentioned the war in Ukraine and he had to stop his prayer to compose himself.

“Immaculate virgin, today I would have wanted to bring you the thanks of Ukrainian people,” before he broke down.

Continuing later, he added: “Instead, once more I have to bring you the pleas of children, of the elderly, of fathers and mothers, of the young people of that martyred land, which is suffering so much.”

Pope Francis has mentioned Ukraine in nearly all of his public appearances since the start of Russia’s invasion in February and has grown increasingly critical of Moscow.
