“VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The Vatican has had diplomatic contact with Russia regarding comments Pope Francis made about Russian minorities being responsible for the worst acts of cruelty in the country’s war on Ukraine.
“Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for Russia’s foreign
ministry, told reporters Dec. 15 that the Vatican had apologized and so Russia
considered the matter closed, the Russian news agency Tass reported.
“In an interview in late November with America magazine,
Pope Francis spoke of the ‘cruelty’ of Russian troops in Ukraine.
“’Generally, the cruelest are perhaps those who are of
Russia but are not of the Russian tradition, such as the Chechens, the Buryati
and so on.’”
