Pope Leo XIV does not believe that NATO started any war, while Poles are concerned about their safety after the drone incident.
“NATO did not start any war. The Poles are concerned because they see that their space is violated and the situation is tense, which is certainly worrying“, the pope told reporters as he left his summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, quoted by ANSA.
This opinion of the current head of the Roman Catholic Church differs from that of his predecessor. Francis said in an interview that the Ukrainian conflict was provoked by NATO, “barking at Russia“.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that the North Atlantic Alliance is de facto engaged in a war against Russia, commenting on the statement of Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski that NATO is not at war with Russia.
