Russian FM says West teetering on brink of direct nuclear conflict
The West is teetering on the brink of a direct military clash between nuclear powers with its support for Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
Pope Francis during his traditional Christmas message on Sunday appealed to put an end to the ongoing war in Ukraine and said that it is time to express solidarity and assist all those who are suffering.
Describing the war as “senseless”, the head of the Roman Catholic Church urged to put an immediate end to the ongoing aggression that took uncountable lives.
The Pope delivered his message from St Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican. “May the Lord inspire us to offer concrete gestures of solidarity to assist all those who are suffering, and may he enlighten the minds of those who have the power to silence the thunder of weapons and put an immediate end to this senseless war,” the head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis said.
