A case will be raised for the postponed words Pope Francis on the death of Darya Dugina, the daughter of the Putin ideologue Aleksandr Dugin, who was killed in a car bomb attack in Moscow on Saturday night.
At the end of the general audience, Bergoglio returns to his thoughtsUkrainewho called for “concrete steps to be taken to end the war and avert the risk of nuclear catastrophe Zaporizhia“. The Pope makes an appeal to “prisoners, especially those who are in fragile conditions”. “I ask the competent authorities to work for their release”, these are the words of Francis, who invites them not with such to resign cruelty so many innocent people pay Madness, madness, madness on all sides, because war is madness – says Bergoglio – and nobody in war can say: “I’m not, I’m not crazy”. The madness of war.” The Pope also speaks of the death of Darya Dugina in an attack.” I think of the poor girl who was blown up by a bomb under the car seat in Moscow – the Pope continues – the innocents pay for the war, the innocent. Let’s reflect on this reality and tell each other that war is madness. And those who make money from war, from the arms trade, are criminals who kill humanity”.
“Today’s Speech by the Pope – the Hot Commentary by Andriy Yurash, Ambassador of Ukraine to the Holy See – was disappointing and made me think of a lot: You can’t put aggressor and victim, rapist and raped in the same category. How can one of the ideologues of Russian imperialism be called innocent? She (Darya Dugina, ed.) was killed by the Russians, “who now make her a ‘holy sacrifice’ to use as a ‘shield’.
For Kyiv adds the Ukrainian ambassador in Rome Yaroslav Melnyk, the Dugina “did not mean anything. Believe me, for the vast majority of Ukrainians, his name became known only after his death. This person did not mean anything to Ukraine, but the accusations against Ukraine are quite to be expected”. “In principle – he concludes about the trail of the alleged killer, a Ukrainian girl nearby Azov battalion already identified and fled abroad – for us this situation is nothing new: an endless stream of lies, fabricated accusations and fabrications. In two days in Russia the murder of Dugina was revealed, and for example, for 16 years they could not find the killers of Anna Politkovskaya‘, the Russian journalist, killed in 2006, who defies the Kremlin.
