Respecting the opening by the Apostolic Nunciature in Mozambique of the Book of Condolence for the passing of the Holy Father Francis, the Ambassador of Ukraine to the Republic of Mozambique, Rostyslav Tronenko, today left his deepest condolences in which he quoted the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky:

“Millions of people around the world are mourning the tragic news of Pope Francis’s passing. His life was devoted to God, to people, and to the Church.

He knew how to give hope, ease suffering through prayer, and foster unity. He prayed for peace in Ukraine and for Ukrainians. We grieve together with Catholics and all Christians who looked to Pope Francis for spiritual support. Eternal memory!”
