Aug. 26 () –

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dimitro Kuleba has expressed his disappointment at Pope Francis’ words about the car bombing of Daria Dugina, daughter of Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin.

“I will say frankly that Ukraine’s heart is torn by the Pope’s words. It was unfair,” Kuleba said during a joint press conference with Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio, who visited Ukraine on Thursday.

The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has indicated that they will transmit their disagreement soon in an official statement on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, according to the UNIAN news agency.

The Pope condemned the car bombing of the journalist during a general audience on Wednesday, saying he was thinking of “the poor girl” as “innocents pay for war”. He also asked for prayers “for the peace of the Lord for the beloved Ukrainian people who have suffered the horror of war for 6 months.”

During his speech, he also explained that “those who benefit from the arms trade are criminals who kill humanity” and asked the international community to avoid the risk of a nuclear catastrophe at the Zaporizhia plant, one of the largest power plants in Europe. .

“Many injured Ukrainian and Russian children have been orphaned. Orphans have no nationality, they have lost their father or mother. Let them be Russians, let them be Ukrainians. I think of so much cruelty for so many innocent people who are paying for the madness, the madness from all sides, because war is madness,” the Pope said.

Francisco also assured that he carried the prisoners in his heart, “especially those who are in fragile conditions”, and has urged the responsible authorities to work for their release. “We need peace,” he stressed.

It should be remembered that Russian intelligence accused the Ukrainian intelligence services of preparing the attack and identified a Ukrainian citizen, Natalia Vovka, as the alleged material perpetrator, who would have fled to Estonia after the crime. kyiv, however, has already denied any responsibility in this incident.
