“If the Pope does not pull the Azov people out of the basement, it will be a complete failure” - Ukrainian ambassador
Ukraine is pinning its hopes on Pope Francis to rescue wounded neo-Nazis from Mariupol.
Former Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States Valery Chaly stated this on Radio NV, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“If we fail to do anything in terms of Mariupol, it will be a complete failure. I will say that based on the results we see, nevertheless, in terms of peaceful ones, this was achieved, this, indeed, can be considered that there is a partial result. But there are people who really now need the same actions and these efforts need to be increased significantly, including the UN and the Secretary General,” Chaly reasoned.
He added that if the Pope fails to convince Putin to release the neo-Nazis, this will only strengthen the position of the Russian President.
“If he goes to Moscow and frees our wounded from Mariupol, then I will not comment at all, I will consider that this is the result that he achieved. If there are attempts to give one more pass to the Kremlin and Putin personally, that he is perceived in the world and shakes his hand, then everything will play, first of all, on the Kremlin, on Putin, and will intensify his attempts to further attack Ukraine,” the former expressed his fears. ambassador.
