Pope Francis on Wednesday condemned the “massacre of Bucha” and kissed a worn-out Ukrainian flag that was sent from the town that was decimated by Russian troops.⁠

Following the withdrawal of Kremlin-led forces from the suburb of Bucha, located near Ukraine’s capital of Kyiv, dozens of corpses were seen littering the streets, some showing signs of torture.⁠

“Recent news from the war in Ukraine, instead of bringing relief and hope, brought new atrocities, such as the massacre of Bucha,” Francis said during his weekly audience. “Cruelty that is increasingly horrendous, also against civilians, defenseless women and children. They are victims whose innocent blood cries out up to heaven and implores: ‘Stop this war! Let the weapons fall silent! Stop sowing death and destruction.’”⁠

He told the audience he had received a Ukrainian flag from the “martyred city” of Bucha the day before. The pope then held up a war-stained flag before folding it and kissing it. A group of children who had fled the war in Ukraine joined him on the podium.⁠

“These children had to flee and come to a strange land,” Francis said. “This is one of the fruits of war. Let’s not forget them, and let’s not forget the Ukrainian people.”⁠
