“In the current war in Ukraine, we are witnessing the impotence of the United Nations Organization”. Thus’ the Pope. “Today we often speak of ‘geopolitics’, but unfortunately the dominant logic is that of the strategies of the most powerful states to assert their interests by extending the area of economic, ideological and military influence, we are seeing this with the war, “Francis said in the general audience. “After the Second World War an attempt was made to lay the foundations for a new history of peace, unfortunately we do not learn, but unfortunately the old history of competing great powers has continued”, he added.
“Malta represents, in this context, the right and the strength of the ‘little ones’, of nations that are small but rich in history and civilization, which should pursue another logic: that of respect and freedom, of the conviviality of differences, opposed to the colonization of the most powerful. We are seeing it now, and not only on one side but also on the other “, underlined the Pontiff, retracing his trip to Malta.
“The recent news about the war in Ukraine, instead of bringing relief and hope, instead testifies to new atrocities, such as the Bucha massacre. More and more horrendous cruelties, also committed against civilians, women and defenseless children. They are victims whose innocent blood cries out to the Heaven and implore: put an end to this war, silence the weapons, stop sowing death and destruction. Let us pray together on this, “Pope Francis said at the end of the general audience.
