NATO arms in Russia 'uncontrollable escalation' - Parolin

A really worrying prospect says Vatican secretary of state

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 30 - Authorising the use of NATO-supplied weapons by Ukraine in Russian territory would spell an "uncontrollable escalation" of the conflict, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin said Thursday.
    "I think this possibility must worry all those who have the fate of our world at heart," he said.
    "This could entail an escalation that no one will be able to control any longer. It's a very disquieting prospect".
    Parolini went on: "We are working on the humanitarian level, above all on the question of the return of Ukrainian children to their homeland, a mechanism which has been launched with Cardinal (Matteo) Zupp's visit to Kyiv and Moscow which is bearing fruit. There is no other room".
    Bologna Archbishop Zuppi, chair of the Italian Bishops Conference (CEI), is Pope Francis's peace envoy on the Ukraine war. (ANSA).
