💨 Abstract

Pope Francis, who passed away, was criticized by some Ukrainian Catholics for his comments in a 2024 interview suggesting Ukraine should seek peace in its conflict with Russia. The pontiff's stance differed from that of Ukraine's government and its Western allies, who view the conflict as an unjust Russian invasion. Ukrainians expressed sorrow at his death but expressed hope for a more supportive next pope.
