Pope Francis offered his blessing to a peace caravan that left Italy for Ukraine in recent days to bring humanitarian aid.

He noted that this is “a sign of the closeness of the people of Italy to the battered people of Ukraine.”

“Let us unite ourselves to this gesture with our prayer, which will be more intense during the days of Holy Week,” he said.
