Pope Francis urged negotiations between Ukraine and Russia to end the ongoing war. Speaking during his Christmas address at St Peter's Basilica, he said, “Boldness is needed to open the door to dialogue for a just and lasting peace.” His appeal came hours after Russia launched a major missile attack on Ukraine's energy facilities. The Pope also called for ceasefires in Gaza and Syria, adding, “May the sound of arms be silenced in war-torn Ukraine and beyond.” He addressed conflicts worldwide, urging nations to seek peace and protect communities suffering from violence and war.
