Pope Leo XIV expresses concern over the recent intensification of the war in Ukraine during his general audience in St Peter's Square, condemning attacks on civilians and urging an end to violence. "War does not solve problems - it only makes them worse," he says. His comments come days after Russia called for diplomats and foreigners to leave Kyiv amid the threat of fresh strikes, drawing a backlash from Western countries, some of whom accused Moscow of escalating the more than four-year war.
