Pope Francis met Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and discussed a range of common concerns including peace, poverty, inequality and the environment, the Vatican said
Although the Vatican did not specifically mention Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Lula made clear before the meeting that seeking an end to the war was a priority.
Underscoring this sentiment, the pope gave Lula a bronze sculpture with the inscription: "Peace is a fragile flower." "Both believe they can win militarily. I do not agree. I think too few people are talking of peace," Lula told Corriere della Sera newspaper in an interview published on Wednesday.
