In a surprising turn of events, Pope Francis has urged Ukrainian President Zelensky to display the “courage of the white flag” and engage in direct negotiations with Russian President Putin to end the devastating war that has persisted for two years. This call for dialogue comes amid conflicting viewpoints on how to achieve a resolution to the conflict.
Pope Francis emphasized the importance of courage in waving the “white flag,” a symbolic gesture signaling openness to negotiations and peace. The Pope’s advice precedes Turkish President Erdogan’s recent offer to facilitate a summit between Ukraine and Russia, providing a potential diplomatic avenue for resolution.
