- ROME, SEP 11 - President of the Italian Bishops' Conference and papal envoy for Ukraine Cardinal Matteo Zuppi said Monday he did not think recent criticism of the pope by a Ukrainian presidential aide would threaten the outcome of his peace mission.
"No one has ever talked about mediation," Zuppi told reporters on the sidelines of a Sant'Egidio meeting in Berlin. "It has always been a mission, the Pope explained this at the outset and has repeated what his expectation of this mission is and said precisely that it was not and is not 'mediation', but rather to help," continued the cardinal.
On Friday Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's senior advisor said Francis cannot mediate in the Ukraine war because he is"pro-Russian, not credible" after the pope cited 'the great mother Russia' in urging young Russian to learn from their cultural heritage.
"I think the Ukrainian government and people are aware of the support that they have always had from the Church and Pope Francis in their suffering," concluded the cardinal. .
