\n<\/strong>President of Ukraine
\nToday I spoke with His Holiness Pope Francis, and he said some very important words: \u201cI understand that you want peace. I understand that you must defend yourselves, soldiers defend civilians, they defend their homeland, each person defends it.\u201d And I responded that our people has become an army.<\/em><\/p>\n
