In a conversation with editors of Jesuit journals, Pope Francis spoke about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and criticized NATO's role in the outbreak of what he calls a "Third World War."
He said that months before the #Russian invasion of #Ukraine, he had spoken with a head of state who was concerned about NATO's movements and believed that NATO was "barking at Russia's doorstep." Pope Francis denied that he is backing Putin and denounced the "brutality" and "ferocity" of the Chechen and Syrian mercenaries recruited by the Kremlin.
He questioned how it is possible that people have lived through "three world wars" in less than a century and referred to it as a "calamity" that only benefits arms merchants. He also spoke about the plight of the wives of Ukrainian soldiers he met and pondered about what will happen to them when society's enthusiasm to help them runs dry.
He also mentioned his sorrow he feels each November 2, when he visits cemeteries of fallen World War II soldiers.
