Pope Francis condemned the cruelty of the war in Ukraine at the Easter Vigil Mass, which he attended but did not lead, probably due to leg pain which has reduced his activity.

The mass was attended by Ivan Fedorov, mayor of Melitopol, whom Russian forces captured and later released in an exchange of prisoners last month.

“We all pray for you and with you. We pray because there is so much suffering, and we can only give you our company and our prayers. And to tell you: be brave, we are with you”, said Pope Francis, ending his address by saying “Christ is risen” in Ukrainian.
