Zelenskyy dismisses Pope Francis's call for Ukraine to negotiate peace with Russia

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed the Pope's call for Ukraine to enter peace talks with Russia as "virtual mediation". In his nightly video address, Ukraine's president did not refer directly to Pope Francis or his suggestion, but said his ideas had nothing to do with efforts from religious figures in Ukraine. The head of the Catholic Church had called on Ukraine to have "the courage of the white flag", adding "I think that the strongest one is the one who looks at the situation, thinks about the people, has the courage of the white flag, and negotiates."
