According to the interlocutor of the Pontiff, Francis considers it necessary to stop the fighting during the two -week Easter holidays. The head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, proposed an initiative to declare a truce in the war between Russia and Ukraine. The Russian media informs about it with reference to the words of the head of the World Union of Old Believers Leonid Sevastyanova, who allegedly maintains a personal connection with the Pontiff.

According to Roszma, Sevastyanov had a personal conversation with the Pope, in which the head proposed to install a two -week truce in the war zone in Ukraine and in the occupied regions of the Russian Federation. The pontiff recalled that the coming week is Easter in Catholics, then the Easter Week will be Orthodox. It is in these 14 days of church holidays that Francis offers the parties to the conflict to refrain from using weapons.
