Vatican City, 19 February 2014 (VIS) –
Following today's catechesis, Pope Francis launched an appeal for an
end to the violence in Ukraine, in whose capital Kiev there have been
clashes between the forces of order and anti-government
demonstrators, causing twenty-five deaths last night. “It is with
concern that I follow the events in Kiev during these days. I assure
the Ukrainian people of my closeness and pray for the victims of the
violence, for their families, and for the injured. I urge all parties
to cease every form of violence and to pursue harmony and peace
throughout the country”.
