Zuppi says hope with Trump peace in Ukraine

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 27 - Papal Ukraine war envoy Matteo Zuppi said Wednesday he hoped peace with Russia might be achieved after the re-election of Donald Trump as US president.
    On Trump's promise to seal peace in Ukraine in one day, Bologna archbishop and Cardinal Zuppi, president of the Italia Bishops Council (CEI), said at the presentation of the Svimez report on the South: "I think that hope can use all the variations and novelties, let's hope".
    "I think that it can't be him alone, it would be impossible and wrong, but he can bring an innovative intervention that creates different conditions.
    "Of course, the important thing is that there are other actors and that there is always the ability to be aware that we cannot get out of it alone", added Zuppi explaining that "this was what our parents were very clear about after the Second World War".
    Peace in Ukraine "even if it is close, will always come too late. It is a tragedy, period.
    "So the sooner it arrives, the better. I believe that there is starting to be a clear awareness that it is essential to find a way to end the conflict", Zuppi concluded. (ANSA).
