Pope Francis Condemns ‘Insane War,’ ‘Barbaric Attacks’ in Ukraine
ROME — Pope Francis has once again condemned the Russian war on “dear and tormented” Ukraine, calling for prayers and aid for the besieged nation. “Every day I carry in my heart the dear and tormented Ukraine, which continues to be scourged by barbaric attacks, like the one that struck the Kremenchuk shopping centre,” the pontiff said after his Angelus prayer in the Vatican Wednesday. “I pray that this insane war may soon see an end, and I renew the invitation to persevere, without tiring, in prayer for peace: may the Lord open those paths of dialogue that men are unwilling or unable to find!” he said. “And let us not neglect to come to the aid of the Ukrainian people, who are suffering so much,” Francis concluded.

NBC News is not naming the author of this piece to protect their security and that of their family. HONG KONG — Ventus Lau and Emilia Wong see each other for 15 minutes at a time. That’s the longest a visit can last at the prison in Hong Kong where Wong goes every day to see Lau, her partner of seven years, the couple separated by metal bars and sandwiched between two pieces of plexiglass. It is 23 hours and 45 minutes before they can see each other again. They could be apart for a lifetime if the courts rule against Lau, who along with 46 other pro-democracy politicians and activists has been charged in the biggest single case under the Chinese territory’s national security law . Critics say the law, which Beijing imposed in 2020, is a direct assault on long-cherished freedoms in the former British colony, which on Friday will mark 25 years since its return to Chinese rule. “My future is entirely in the hands of the authorities — I am a fish in a tank,” Lau, … [Read more...] about Politics brought this couple together.
