A superpower wants to impose its will
in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Pope Francis said Tuesday.
"The war in Ukraine has joined the regional wars that have been
reaping death and destruction over the last few years", he said
in a message for the Day of the Poor.
"But here the picture is more complex due to the direct
intervention of a superpower, which intends to impose its will
against the principle of the self-determination of peoples.
"Scenes out of tragic memory are being repeated and yet again
reciprocal blackmail by some powerful (nations) covers the voice
of humanity which invokes peace".
The pope also turned his attention to the plight of the low paid
on the International Day of the Poor.
"Work without a fair wage and fair hours is slavery", he aid.
