00:01. Zelensky: Church is about people supporting us with prayer, not conducting “virtual” negotiations.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday rejected the Pope's suggestion to start peace talks with Russia, calling his controversial remarks “virtual mediation.” “The church is the one who supports us with prayers,” he said in a statement on Sunday.

Those who are stronger are those who see the situation, who think about the nation, and who have the courage to raise the white flag. Nowadays you can negotiate with international powers. Word: negotiating is brave

– said Francis in an interview on Swiss television on Saturday.

Once many white-walled houses and churches in Ukraine have now been burned and destroyed by Russian missiles. And it speaks very clearly about who must stop for the war to end

– Zelensky emphasized in an evening video posted on social media.

Those who protect life “are fulfilling the most honorable mission that can be undertaken in the face of an inhumane invasion,” Zelensky said, thanking those who support Ukraine's defense.

When the evil Russians started this war on February 24, the entire Ukrainian people stood up to defend themselves. Christians, Muslims, Jews – everyone. And I thank every Ukrainian chaplain who served in the military, in the Defense Forces. They are on the front line. They protect life and humanity. They support us with prayer, conversation, and action. This is what the Church is – being with the people. And not somewhere, two and a half thousand kilometers away, that is actually an intermediary between someone who wants to live and someone who wants to destroy you.

– he continued.

Thank you to everyone who is doing everything in Ukraine and with Ukraine to save lives, thank you to everyone who is helping and who is very close to us, through actions and prayers

– concluded the president of Ukraine.
