The Pope calls for unlocking the wheat: Do not use it as a means of war

Speaking today to thousands gathered at St. Peter's Square, he said millions of people depend on grain from Ukraine.

The blockade of wheat exports from Ukraine is very distressing because the lives of millions of people depend on it, especially in poor countries”, the pope has said.

On the other hand, it issued a <x0 quality from the heart” to authorities to remove the blocking grain exports and solve the problem.

He added: “please! Don't use wheat as a weapons of war”.

The pope has repeatedly condemned the war, not to mention Russia or Vladimir Putin. Today was the first time he talked about the global food crisis that war brought.
