Ukrainian Ambassador to Italy Yevhen Perelyhin said he hopes that when Pope Francis meets Putin, he will "repeat the message he pronounced in Sarajevo recently: he who speaks of peace while conducting war is a hypocrite", ANSA informs.

Pope Francis gave a homily on peacemakers to a crowd of over 65,000 in Sarajevo's Kosevo stadium last Sunday. There, Francis said that "all are capable of proclaiming peace, even in a hypocritical, or indeed duplicitous, manner," but added that "peacemaker" means "those who make peace".
