‘Let us be clear: this war must end,’ Archbishop Gallagher tells Russian authorities in Moscow
Developing
“Let us be clear: this war must end,” Archbishop Gallagher said. Before delivering their statements to the press, Archbishop Gallagher spoke with Lavrov for more than an hour at a meeting that was also attended by Archbishop Giovanni d’Aniello, the apostolic nuncio to Russia, Vatican News reported.
“Pope Leo XIV has recently reiterated that peace is at the same time a gift and a responsibility,” Archbishop Gallagher said. “After more than four years of hostilities, the conflict continues to expand, the number of victims continues to grow, many families remain divided, and the material and psychological consequences of the conflict affect millions of people in Ukraine and Russia,” the archbishop said.
“Dialogue does not eliminate differences of opinion or approach, but it does prevent incomprehension and suspicion from becoming the only language available to us,” the archbishop said. “The position of the Holy See remains clear: the conflict cannot be resolved by military means,” said Archbishop Paul R.
“It is essential to create the conditions for a serious political and diplomatic process,” the archbishop said. “For this reason, during our exchange, I reiterated the appeal of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV to end the hostilities and to begin authentic negotiations with the support of the international community,” the Vatican’s foreign minister said.
The Vatican foreign minister also noted that he and Lavrov had “an extensive exchange of views on numerous regional and international issues,” including situations in the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Africa.
