Pope mentions Ukraine in his address to diplomats accredited to the Vatican

On Monday Pope Francis delivered a speech before ambassadors representing the 185 nations with which the Holy See has diplomatic relations.

In his speech, Pope paid serious attention to the war in Ukraine. "A shared commitment to rebuilding bridges is also urgent in Ukraine.  The year just ended reaped new victims in the conflict that afflicts the country, continuing to bring great suffering to the population, particularly to families who live in areas affected by the war and have lost their loved ones, not infrequently the elderly and children".

 Address to diplomats accredited to the Vatican is considered the pope’s most important foreign policy speech of the year.
