said Saturday he was considering a trip to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, a trip that would make him one of the most public world leaders to visit the war-torn nation since the war began. “Yes, it is on the table,” he told journalists aboard his papal plane while en route to Malta.
He also said he received a letter from the family of Pierre Zakrzewski, a Fox News journalist who was killed in Ukraine last month, to which he remarked in French that Zakrzewski was “up there.” Francis has been an outspoken critic of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, though he has repeatedly refused to explicitly call out Russia itself.
