Pope Francis has called the ongoing war in Ukraine a “perverse abuse of power” that has condemned defenceless people to “brutal violence,” according to Sky News.

“The tragedy of the war taking place in the heart of Europe has left us stunned,” the Pope said in a message to a Catholic Church conference in Slovakia.

“Once more humanity is threatened by a perverse abuse of power and partisan interests which condemns defenceless people to suffer every form of brutal violence,” he added.
