Interview of the Pontiff with Corsera: 'Perplexed by arms supplies' (ANSA) "I asked Cardinal Parolin, after twenty days of war, to send Putin the message that I was willing to go to Moscow. Of course, it was necessary for the Kremlin leader to grant some windows. We have not yet received an answer and we are still standing. insisting, even if I fear that Putin cannot and wants to have this meeting right now. But so much brutality, how can you not stop it? ". Pope Francis


"I asked Cardinal Parolin, after twenty days of war, to send Putin the message that I was willing to go to Moscow. Of course, it was necessary for the Kremlin leader to grant some windows. We have not yet received an answer and we are still standing. insisting, even if I fear that Putin cannot and wants to have this meeting right now. But so much brutality, how can you not stop it? ".

Pope Francis says so, interviewed by the editor of Corriere della Sera, Luciano Fontana.

"I'm not going to Kiev for now", he adds - he explains -.

First I have to go to Moscow, first I have to meet Putin ".

"I can't answer - says the pontfice in another passaffio of the interview - I am too far away, to the question of whether it is right to supply the Ukrainians. The clear thing is that weapons are being tested in that land. The Russians now know that the tanks are of little use and they are thinking of other things. Wars are fought for this: to test the weapons we have produced ".

"So it happened in the Spanish civil war before the Second World War - the Pope recalls -. The arms trade is a scandal, few oppose it. Two or three years ago a ship loaded with weapons arrived in Genoa that had to be transferred to a big cargo to transport them to Yemen. The workers of the port did not want to do it. They said: let's think about the children of Yemen. It's a small thing, but a nice gesture.
