Countries "play" with Ukraine: promise weapons and then refuse to commit obligations - Pope Roman

According to Francis, some countries are retreating from these obligations and do not want to provide weapons to Ukraine. In such circumstances, the Ukrainian people become a martyr. During the flight from Marseille, the Roman Pontiff commented on how, in his opinion, the world community supports Ukraine that opposes the Russian invasion. About it reports Reuters. Some countries, he suggested, "playing games" with Ukraine: first passes weapons, and then say they can give up their obligations.

Francis sent his envoy - Italian Cardinal Matteo Zuppi - to Kiev, Moscow, Washington and Beijing to meet with the leaders of the countries. In a conversation with journalists, he answered the question of whether he was disappointed with the fact that his attempts to achieve peace were not successful. "It seems to me that the interests in this war are related not only to the Ukrainian-Russian problem, but also to the sale of weapons, a commercial weapon.

We should not play games with the martyrdom of this people," the pontiff answered the journalist. According to him, it is necessary to help Ukraine in solving problems. "I see that some countries now retreat and do not want to provide weapons [Ukraine]. The events in which the Ukrainian people become a martyr, and that's terrible," he said. The Vatican Matteo Brunney representative commented on the Pope's statement about weapons.

According to him, these were reflections on what consequences the military industry has. At the same time, it does not take any position on whether countries should continue to supply weapons to Ukraine or stop them. "Those who trade weapons never pay for the consequences of their choice, they pay for others, including Ukrainians who have become martyrs," Bruni said.
