Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, discussed the war in Ukraine during a private audience Monday with Pope Francis in the Vatican.
The pope was “very concerned” about the number of casualties — especially innocent civilians — that have occurred since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, said Col. Dave Butler, Gen. Milley’s spokesman.
Gen. Milley, a practicing Catholic, was out of uniform during the audience with the Roman pontiff. He wore a simple black suit rather than an Army dress uniform covered in ribbons and decorations acquired over more than 40 years in the military.“There’s only one group that’s allowed to wear a uniform at the Vatican — the Swiss Guard,” he said.
