[Vatican City, 6th Archyde.com]-Pope Francis of Rome accused the “Bucha genocide” in the suburbs of Kieu (Kyiv), the capital of Ukraine, and kissed the Ukrainian flag sent from Bucha on the 6th.
“The recent news of the Ukrainian War did not bring relief and hope, but new atrocities such as the Bucha massacre,” the Pope said at the end of the weekly public audience.
“We should stop this war. We should silence our weapons. We should stop spreading death and destruction,” he accused the atrocities of civilians and unprotected women and children.
On top of that, he said that a dirty national flag with a note was sent from Bucha on the 5th. He kissed the flag and raised it to the audience, saying it was a flag “from the battlefield, exactly from that martyrdom town of Bucha.” Applause arose from an audience of thousands.
