The head of the Catholic Church Pope Francis met with the ambassador of the Federation of Russia at the Holy See of Ivan Soltanowski, as the Vatican press office informed. The Holy See did not give details of the meeting. Russian news agency Ria Novosti reported that the proposals of president Vladimir Putin on the agreement in Ukraine were discussed.
A fewer days earlier, Pope Francis met at the G7 summit in Apulia with Volodymyr Zelenski. After this meeting, the Secretary of State of the Holy See, Cardinal Parolin said "in the face of war and its tragic consequences, it is crucial never to give up, but to proceed to search ways to end the conflict with good intentions, trust and creativity." Upon his return from Switzerland, the Cardinal said in his coverage of the conference "participants pointed out that Russia's absence was a large constraint – peace is being built together." This was besides noticed by the media in Poland. It is worth noting that the number of countries participating in the Swiss conference without the participation of Russia, which did not sign the final document, is significant, including India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, Libya, the United arabian Emirates, Slovakia, Armenia and the Vatican. respective countries withdrew their signatures. China wasn't even involved.
Ambassador Soltanowski expressed his gratitude to the Pope for his consistent balanced and consistently peace-loving position. According to the Russian news agency "Franciszek is constantly seeking a diplomatic solution, while knowing the complexity and actual causes of the acute global conflict". “ We share our concern about the constant deterioration in the world, ” says the Russian Embassy at the Holy See. We have expressed our willingness to proceed the regular and trusted dialog between Russia and the Holy See," as quoted by the Interia Information Portal.
In fresh times, a number of statements have been made that deviate from the erstwhile communicative and call for a peaceful end to the war in Ukraine as shortly as possible. Yesterday, Onet quoted b. president of the United States and candidate for the position in this year's Donald Trump election. The politician said that in his opinion the war in Ukraine began due to ignoring Russian warnings about Ukraine's possible entry into NATO. He excluded Ukraine's accession to the Alliance and judged that it would be "crazy". erstwhile again, he spoke of the necessity of peace.
A fewer days ago, Serbia’s president Alexandar Vučić said: “No 1 in the West talks about peace anymore. Everyone's talking about war. We are approaching a major disaster and it seems that the train has already left the station and can no longer be stopped... The United States and NATO cannot afford to win Russia due to the fact that it will importantly weaken their political influence. Furthermore, the geopolitical position of the West and the EU will be so damaged that it cannot be rebuilt. Third, the Pandora box will be opened and fresh hostile actions will be taken against the collective West (...) The West won't win this fight. The West thinks he can win and defeat Russia. I think the West is wrong... In Europe, leaders act like large heroes, but are not honest and do not tell their citizens that they will all pay a advanced price if they go to war. Vučić besides asked who was ready to lose a million, 2 million or 15 million people. I'm not ready to lose 1 person. It's not the 3rd planet war, it's the large start. His words, "It is simply a substance of three, 4 months, and there is simply a hazard that it will happen sooner," sounded highly disturbing in this situation.
The position of China is to be observed consistently reluctantly inflame the conflict. We don't know what the impact of president Xi Jinping's conversation with Macron was. However, his warm head seems to have been a small cold. We do not know what the president of Poland Andrzej Duda will hear in the next fewer days. We must note the conservative actions in the Atlantic camp of Hungary and Slovakia. It is worth listening to the words of the Presidents of Argentina Javier Miley and Colombia Gustavo Petro.
A appropriate analysis of the European political scene should be carried out – not talking about the threat of the value of the European Union or any kind of onusism. The success of specified war-sceptic parties is not a coincidence, a consequence of their position on the issue of war. The chichoto of past is that the German AfD is the main pro-peace centre in the European Union.
Today, on non-immigrant and anti-war policies, forces specified as these German AfDs are growing. But the Bulgarian Revival is besides getting stronger, Spanish Se Acabó La Fiesta, Romanian Romanian Romanian Romanian Romanian Romanian SOS, Slovak Hnutie Republic, Greek NIKH or Hungarian Mi Hazánk Mozgalom. There are besides more average non-war forces specified as the Polish Confederation, the French National Unity, the Italian League or the Dutch Freedom Party. This is besides happening on the left side, although European left-wing has become an avant-garde of pro-war activities. However, average but successful successes of the authentic left – including the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance – for Reason and Justice in Germany or the Dutch Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB).
The question is, is there adequate time for the opposers to realize the consequences of individual societies and nations?
