Ukraine rebut Pope Francis’ call for peace talks

It is estimated that 29,000 Russian troops were killed or wounded in Ukraine in February, their heaviest loses since the invasion began two years ago.

What horror that is for the women and men and their extended families. It sure is some 'Special Military Operation'. It’s ‘special' to lose a limb. 

It is said over 100,000 Russian lives have been lost in the battle to date.

A senior EU official was quoted last week as saying that it is no  longer a case that there could be a full scale war in Europe but rather when.

Pope Francis’ comments as reported last evening of his calling for talks to begin has upset the Ukrainians and many of its allies.
