Pope Francis says war is fuelled not just by the Russians

 It will be interesting to hear what Pope Francis has to say. Will he explain what he means by ‘the empires from elsewhere’?

PopeFrancis said the conflict was fuelled by "imperial interests, not just of the Russian empire, but of empires from elsewhere”. 

He expressed a readiness to talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin to call for peace. Pope Francis was speaking to Italian Swiss television RSI, in an interview due to be broadcast on Sunday.
