During his flight back to Rome after concluding his visit to Hungary, Pope Francis informed reporters that there is a secret Vatican peacekeeping mission taking place in Ukraine. "Peace is in everyone's interest, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it. Although a mission is currently underway, it has not yet been made public. We will see," stated Francis. He believes that creating new channels is crucial for achieving peace, and his appeal is to continually develop relationships and new channels of friendship.
