< p _ngcontent-sc86="" class="news-annotation">Pope Francis systematically surprises with his statements about the war in Ukraine. This is because the Vatican has little experience in dealing with Ukraine as an independent state.
This is the opinion of Channel 24said the religious scholar, Doctor of Philosophy Lyudmila Filippovich. According to her, the scandalous statements of Pope Francis are connected with the fact that he is poorly versed in the processes taking place in Eastern Europe.
Therefore, the Vatican gets into information scandals.
Now they are talking about a communication crisis that both the Pope and the Vatican are experiencing. They lack objective sources of information. They are constantly guided by stuffing and messages actively produced by Russia,” Filippovich emphasized.
Why the Vatican believes the Kremlin propaganda
The religious scholar added that Moscow had actually captured the information space of Western Europe. Thanks to money, as well as a large network of agents, Russia promotes its propaganda in the European media.
The Vatican focuses on such messages, since Moscow has long been a certain center of communication for the Vatican in Eastern Europe.
According to Filippovich, the Vatican was one of the first states to recognize the independence of Ukraine in 1991. Despite this, they still have not realized that the end of the Soviet Union has come.
In the minds of these people, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and other post-Soviet republics are one. In the minds of some representatives of the Vatican, this transformation never took place. – explained the Doctor of Philosophy.
“Ukrainians have learned to express their dissatisfaction”
As Filippovich noted, the statements of the head of the Vatican cause a sharp reaction among the citizens of Ukraine .
Ukrainians have finally learned to express their disagreement with the position of the Pope,” she said.
In particular, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the Vatican Andriy Yurash actively responds to the statements of the pontiff.
” At the initiative of Yurash and with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Vatican's ambassador to Ukraine was called in. He was told that such rhetoric from the Vatican is unacceptableat a time when it is clear to all mankind who is the cause of this war and bears the main responsibility for it,” the religious scholar emphasized. .
