Pope Francis says a possible visit to Kyiv 'is on the table' as he denounces 'savage' Russian war in Ukraine:

Pope Francis came the closest he has yet to implicitly criticizing President Vladimir Putin over Russia's invasion of Ukraine, saying on Saturday a "potentate" was fomenting conflicts for nationalist interests.Posted: Apr 02, 2022 5:48 AM ET | Last Updated: 2 hours ago

Pope Francis came the closest he has yet to implicitly criticizing President Vladimir Putin over Russia's invasion of Ukraine, saying on Saturday a "potentate" was fomenting conflicts for nationalist interests. "From the east of Europe, from the land of the sunrise, the dark shadows of war have now spread. We had thought that invasions of other countries, savage street fighting and atomic threats were grim memories of a distant past," the Pope said in an address to Maltese officials after arriving on the Mediterranean island nation for a two-day visit.

The Pope has already strongly condemned what he has called an "unjustified aggression" and denounced "atrocities" in the war.But he has only referred to Russia directly in prayers, such as during a special global event for peace on March 25.
