Sunday after his general audience in St. Peter’s Square, Pope Francis spoke out about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And condemned the ‘Russian savagery, monstrosities, and torture.’
The Pope revealed that his charity leader, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, who brings aid to Ukraine was attacked last week. And shots were fired at the Cardinal and his entourage in Northeastern Ukraine.
In addition to Krajewski, the group included a Catholic Bishop, a Protestant Bishop, and a Ukrainian soldier. This was the group’s 4th humanitarian mission to bring food and supplies to the embattled citizens.
In the Cardinals’ report to the Pope, he described having to run for his life and take cover.
