Pope worries about Ukrainian children but forgot about Syrian ones
Budrigannews.com – Pope Francis on Wednesday approached individuals to recall Ukrainian kids experiencing in the chilly this Christmas.
At the conclusion of his weekly general audience at the Vatican, he unpreparedly said, “Let us think of the many children in Ukraine who suffer, suffer so much, because of this war.”
Since Russia invaded its neighbor in February, the pope has been making pleas for Ukraine at nearly every public appearance, usually at least twice per week.
“Most of those that I have seen here can’t figure out how to grin,” he expressed, alluding to Ukrainian youngsters who have tracked down cover in Rome with Italian families and noble cause.
When a child loses the ability to smile, the situation is grave. The tragedy of that barbaric and inhumane war lives on in these children. Allow us to consider the Ukrainian nation this Christmas – without power, without warming, without the fundamental things they need to make due,” he said.
Since October, Russia has been pounding Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, destroying or causing damage to half of it.
The pope urged people to spend less on Christmas celebrations and presents this year and send the difference to Ukrainians to assist them in surviving winter’s hunger and cold.
