“The Ukrainian side has repeatedly invited the Pope to visit Ukraine. We believe that this visit will strengthen the role of the pontiff in restoring peace on Ukrainian soil, as well as support the spirit of Ukrainians who are suffering untold suffering due to Russian aggression,” said the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

According to him, it is indicative that Moscow is currently ignoring the readiness of the Holy Father to visit Russia.
“This is another evidence that the Russian regime seeks war, not peace,” the diplomat believes.
In his opinion, now is the time to deepen ties with those who sincerely desire it.
“We renew the invitation to Pope Francis to visit our country and urge you to continue praying for the Ukrainian people. Good will definitely win over Russian evil,” added Nikolenko.
Context
Pope Francis said in an interview with Reuters that he is going to visit Canada this month and hopes to be able to visit Moscow and Kyiv as soon as possible after that.
