The Pope turned his thoughts to "battered Ukraine", calling on everyone to remember the people in their prayers as they greatly need "our closeness, consolation, and above all peace."

He also recalled the latest missile attack that took place last Saturday killing and injuring many civilians, among them children:

“The images and the testimonies of this tragic episode are a powerful appeal to our consciences. No one can remain indifferent!”

45 people died and 79 were wounded in a Russian missile strike that hit an apartament building in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Saturday. 19 remain missing.
