Pope urges France to remain 'tireless champion of peace'

Pope Leo XIV on Friday urged France to remain a "tireless champion of peace" worldwide, as Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine drags into its fifth year.

"In the face of rumours of war and the varied crises troubling our world, France is called to remain a tireless champion of peace and multilateralism, particularly within our beloved Europe," he said.
