Pope Francis has called on all parties involved to negotiate to end what he called an "increasingly dangerous escalation" of the conflict in Ukraine.
"In this time of devastation, death and conflict, fueling an increasingly dangerous escalation of tensions for everyone, I appeal once again to the leaders of nations: Please do not bring humanity to the brink of destruction," Pope Francis said today from the window of the Apostolic Palace in St Peter's Square in the Vatican.

He also called for "substantive negotiations towards a ceasefire and a solution" to end the conflict in Ukraine.
Pope Francis confirmed yesterday that he would love to visit Ukraine but is "waiting for the right moment".
100 days after launching a special military operation in Ukraine, Russia is gradually expanding its control in the Donbass region. Last week, Russian forces pushed deep into Severodonetsk, one of the two last major cities in Lugansk Oblast that Kiev still controls.
According to an update from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the war in Ukraine has killed 4,183 civilians and injured more than 5,000. The actual number could be much higher than the statistics because many areas are difficult to access and reports from the field are difficult to verify.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has so far recorded more than 6.9 million Ukrainians leaving the country after February 24, when Russia launched its military campaign in Ukraine.
