25 AUGUST 2022

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has invited the apostolic nuncio to Ukraine, Archbishop Visvaldas Kulbokas, to express the disappointment with the statement of Pope Francis about Daria Dugina; she was the daughter of Aleksandr Dugin, the architect of the concept of the so-called Russian peace.

Quote: “We have carefully read the full quote of Pope Francis and, first of all, decided to invite the Apostolic Nuncio to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to express Ukraine’s disappointment with these words.”

Details: Kuleba also informed that the nuncio was at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday, and a statement on this matter with details will appear soon. The head of Ukrainian diplomacy noted that the invitation of the nuncio to the ministry in itself is a rather unprecedented case and speaks for itself.

“And secondly, I will say frankly that the Ukrainian heart was broken by the Pope’s words. That was unfair,” the minister added.

Background: On 24 August, Pope Francis commented on the murder of Daria Dugina, the daughter of one of the ideologue of the “Russian peace” Alexander Dugin: “I think of the poor girl who was blown up by a bomb that was under the car seat in Moscow. The innocent are paying for the war.”

  1. “I think of the poor girl who was blown up by a bomb that was under the car seat in Moscow. The innocent are paying for the war.”

    Either the pope is a very confused person, is on drugs, is being paid by the ruskie mafia, is being blackmailed by kompromat, or is a heartless bastard. Which is it?
