Pope Francis further added :
1. Negotiations aren’t for surrender but for saving the nation
When you see that you are defeated and things aren’t going right, you must have the courage to negotiate. Negotiations are never for surrender, but to save your country.
2. Seek help from other countries for mediation
You might feel ashamed; but how many years have passed since the war started ? Speak at the right time and seek help from other countries for mediation.
3. The strongest negotiates
When asked about the ongoing discussions in Ukraine about surrender and white flags, Pope said, ‘I think the strongest is the one who observes the situation, considers the people, shows the courage of the white flag (peace) and negotiates.’
