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.
