Zelensky condemns Pope's speech: "imperialist propaganda". Vatican replies to Kiev
The Ukrainian regime attacks Francis accusing him of "imperialist propaganda" ... for a speech delivered on August 25 via video link at the Russian Youth Day in St. Petersburg. “It is truly a pity that the ideas of a great Russian power, which are actually the cause of Russia's chronic aggressiveness, knowingly or unknowingly, are leaving the lips of the Pope, whose mission, in our view, is precisely to open the eyes of Russian youth on the destructive course of the current Russian leadership,” the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Oleg Nikolenko, wrote on Facebook. The response from the Catholic Church was not long in coming. “Pope has never encouraged imperialist ideas.” Thus the apostolic nunciature in Ukraine responded to the harsh condemnation of Kiev.
