Pope Francis continued: "Then, after 20 days of war, I asked Cardinal Parolin to convey to Mr. Putin the message that I was ready to go to Moscow. Of course, it was necessary that the Kremlin leader open some windows. We have not yet received an answer and we continue to wish to go there, although I am afraid that Mr. Putin cannot and does not want to organize such a meeting right now."
The Pope added that he had not yet gone to Kiev because he had to go to Moscow first./.
