The German parliament condemned the statement of the Pope about the alleged need for Ukraine to sit down at the negotiating table with the aggressor country of the Russian Federation.
The Bundestag condemned the Pope's statement about the need for negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation
According to the head of the defense committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, she felt ashamed after the pontiff's statement.
She noted that before encouraging Ukraine to negotiate with the aggressor country, Pope Francis should address the Russian occupiers.
Before the Ukrainian victims raise the white flag, the Pope must loudly and unmistakably call on the brutal Russian criminals to remove their pirate flag - a symbol of death and Satan... And why, in the name of God, does he not condemn the verbal, murderous incitement of the head of the Russian Orthodox Church and ex-KGB agent Kirill against the Ukrainian people? As a Catholic, I am ashamed that he does not do this, - said Strack-Zimmermann.
What they say in Ukraine
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, advised the Vatican not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Our flag is yellow and blue. This is the flag under which we live, die and win. We will never raise any other flags, - emphasized Kuleba.
According to him, the Vatican has been using the "white flag" strategy since the first half of the last century.
I urge you not to repeat the mistakes of the past and to support Ukraine and its people in a fair fight for their lives. The strongest is the one who stands on the side of good in the battle between good and evil, and does not try to put them in the same row and call it "negotiations", Kuleba emphasized.
The head of the Foreign Ministry thanked Pope Francis for his constant prayers for peace.
We continue to hope that after two years of devastating war in the heart of Europe, the Pontiff will find an opportunity to make an Apostolic visit to Ukraine in order to support more than one million Ukrainian Catholics, more than five million Greek Catholics, all Christians and all Ukrainians, Kuleba emphasized
