Pope Leo XIV sent three trucks with humanitarian aid to the areas most affected by the bombings in Ukraine and where there is a lack of electricity, water and heating, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, the almoner, informed the Vatican media this Saturday.
It's about three trucks with food that, when dissolved in a little water, turn into energy soups with chicken and vegetables.
"A small caress from Pope Leo XIV, a vital relief for Ukrainian families on the occasion of the Sunday of the Holy Family of Nazareth, which is celebrated on December 28," explained the Polish cardinal.A gesture that, the cardinal continues, "shows how God, born into such a family, always wants to be where humanity is in danger, where humanity suffers, where it flees, where it experiences rejection and abandonment."
Before Christmas Eve, three trucks loaded with humanitarian aid from the Korean company Samyang Foods arrived at the Vatican, and the aid was subsequently diverted to the war zones most affected by the bombings.Thus, Krajewski concludes, Leo XIV "not only prays for peace, but wishes to be present in families that suffer." Massive Russian attack against Kiev
In the last few hours, Russia launched heavy attacks against Kyiv and against regions in the northeast and south of Ukraine, which caused at least one death and 19 injuries, amid the expectation generated by the upcoming meeting between the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, and the United States president, Donald Trump. The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, reported one woman dead and at least 19 injured in the city, while fires and explosions were recorded in other regions. Russian attacks, which also targeted residential buildings and electrical infrastructure, were carried out with drones and missiles, including hypersonic Kinzhal-type missiles, according to Ukrainian media. In Kyiv, according to the city administration, there are 2,600 apartment buildings without heating after the attacks, with temperatures around zero degrees. In addition, 320,000 homes have been left without heating. Russian attack against Kyiv Faced with the intensification of Russian attacks against Ukraine, Poland closed two airports in the northeast of the country and its air forces deployed military aircraft to control the airspace. The attacks occur amidst the expectation generated by the announcement of the new meeting between Trump and Zelensky, considered key in the current peace negotiations, although the 20-point plan presented by the Ukrainian president on Christmas Eve has been rejected by the Russian side. Zelensky maintains his demand for total control of the Donbas region and rejects the presence of European and American troops in Ukraine as part of the security guarantees for Kyiv. Russian attack against Kyiv This Friday, the Ukrainian president announced that he plans to travel to Florida to meet with Trump on Sunday to discuss the draft of Zelensky's peace plan, as well as the bilateral security guarantees that Washington could provide and an economic agreement. "The 20-point plan we are working on is 90% ready. Our task is to ensure that everything is 100% ready," he declared regarding the peace proposal, in which issues such as territorial concessions that Kiev is willing to make are still open.
