After Christmas 'death wish', Zelensky takes cover behind allies to fire 2nd warning shot at Putin

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky says he has held “a very meaningful and powerful conversation” with Pope Francis, focused on Russian aggression, the humanitarian situation, and Ukraine’s need for a just peace rather than any “peace at any price” deal. In his post, he stresses that Ukraine remains committed to peace but insists it must be based on restoring security and justice for Ukrainians, including the return of prisoners of war and deported children, not concessions that reward Russia’s invasion.
