Pope Francis met on Saturday morning with Ukraine’s ambassador to the Holy See, Andrii Yurash, to discuss a possible visit to Kyiv.
According to Gallagher, the visit would be made by train, either from Poland or Romania. Francis has reiterated on several occasions his desire to go to Ukraine, but also said he would first like to travel to Russia to meet with President Vladimir Putin., however, it would be a “disaster” for Pope Francis to visit Russia before going to Ukraine, and if that should that happen, Ukrainian borders might even be closed to the pope.
“Not only the Greek Catholic faithful, but also we do not agree with all the gestures of the Holy Father towards Russia; but perhaps we do not understand his intentions and policy well,” said Archbishop Mieczysław Mokrzycki, who leads the Latin rite community in Ukraine, which numbers about 1.5 million.
“Let’s hope that the pope has good intentions and, with his way of acting, will soon bring peace to Ukraine,” Mokrzycki said.magazine, Archbishop Gallagher said that the pope “wants to and he feels he should go to Ukraine.” Pope Francis visited the Russian Federation Embassy to the Holy See Friday where “he expressed his concerns over the war in Ukraine,” reported L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican’s daily newspaper.
