Pope Francis voiced his concern about the conflict in Ukraine in comments following his traditional Angelus prayer on Sunday.
"The news coming out of Ukraine is very worrying," the 85-year-old Catholic leader told thousands of worshippers and onlookers in St Peter's Square in Rome.
He called on political leaders to make every effort to bring about peace and then led the crowd in silent prayer for the country.
