"I thank every Ukrainian chaplain who is in the army, in the Defense Forces. They are on the front line, protecting life and humanity, supporting with prayer, dialogue and actions.

Thus Volodymyr Zelensky in reference to the Pope's words. "Russian murderers and torturers do not move towards Europe only because they are held by the Ukrainians with weapons and under the blue and yellow flag", he added.
