Pope Francis Says He's Willing To Visit Ukraine And Russia, But 'Both' Or 'Neither'

Pope Francis says he is willing to travel to Ukraine, which is under attack from Russia, but only on the condition that he can also travel to Moscow. "I will go to both places or to neither," the head of the Catholic Church said in an interview with the March 11 edition of Argentinian newspaper La Nacion. War in Ukraine could only be ended through dialogue and concrete peace initiatives, he said. The pontiff, 86, was already considering a trip to the two countries last summer. At that time he also said he would like to visit both Kyiv and Moscow.
