New Actor: Pope Leo Urges Peace Concessions in Metz

In Metz, Pope Leo told European leaders that negotiators trying to end the Ukraine war must be ready to sacrifice some positions to achieve peace. He said war has returned to Europe and is claiming countless civilian lives every day.

He delivered the appeal in Robert Schuman’s hometown, linking it to Europe’s founding values by praising multiculturalism and recalling the rule of law and equality. It put compromise at the center of his prescription after repeated failed efforts to stop the fighting.
