The pontiff answered the journalist's questions whether Ukraine "raised a white flag and go on negotiations with the Russian Federation, despite the fact that many say that it would legalize Moscow's aggression. " "This is an interpretation. But I think that the one who sees the situation is the one who thinks of people, the one who has the courage to raise the white flag and negotiate," he said, answering questions about the attitude to the surrender of Ukraine.
He added that today can negotiate through international countries. "When you see that you are defeated that things are wrong, you have to have a courage to negotiate. You are ashamed, but how many deaths will end? In time negotiations, look for some country that will be mediator. Do not hesitate to negotiate until the situation has deteriorated ", - said the pontiff. According to him, now there are many people in the conflict in Ukraine as intermediaries, including Turkey.
Western media noted that Francis first used terms such as "White Flag" or "defeated", discussing the war in Ukraine, although in the past it spoke about the need for negotiations. Recall that the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak believes that the statements of the Pope Francis have led to the resumption of the reputation of the Holy See.
