RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – Pope Francis on Sunday revealed that a secret peace “mission” in Russia’s war in Ukraine was under way.
According to AP he gave no details.
Pope said: “There’s a mission that’s not public that’s underway; when it’s public I’ll talk about it.”
Francis gave no details when asked whether he spoke about peace initiatives during his talks in Budapest this weekend with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban or the representative of the Russian Orthodox Church in Hungary.
He added the Vatican is willing to help facilitate the return of Ukrainian children taken to Russia during the war.
“I’m available to do anything,” Francis said during an airborne press conference en route home from Hungary.
