Ukrainian Catholic Bishops Express Disapproval of Pope's Russia Comments

Ukrainian Catholic bishops expressed their disappointment and pain to Pope Francis over his comments about Russia, which they believe are being used by Moscow to justify its actions in Ukraine. The bishops stated that the comments caused great distress and were being used by Russian propaganda to support a "murderous ideology." While the Vatican's statement on the meeting did not reflect the tension described by the bishops, Pope Francis assured them of his solidarity and support for the Ukrainian people.
