Insider.com - Pope Francis has come under fire after he encouraged Russian youths not to give up their “legacy” as heirs of a “great, enlightened Russian empire.”
“Never give up this legacy, you are the heirs of the great Mother Russia, go forward with it,” Pope Francis told young Russians gathered for the All-Russian Meeting of Catholic Youth in St. Petersburg on Friday.
During the speech, a clip of which was posted online, the pope also invoked former Russian emperors Peter I and Catherine II, two rulers who played key roles in expanding Russia’s conquests in Europe, and who are known as symbols of Russian imperialism.
“You are the heirs of the great Russia: the great Russia of saints, of kings, the great Russia of Peter the Great, of Catherine II, of that great, enlightened Russian empire, of great culture and great humanity,” he said. He made no mention of Russia's war crimes in Ukraine.

What? All of a sudden the media has credibility? Not!
This twat Pope apparently can't remember which side of this fake war he's on. Given that it's a hyped conflict with the West causing it and the Russians resisting the West's sloppy attempts to infiltrate Russia, crash its economy, and then swooping in to profit (kind of like what is happening in Hawaii to the residents of Lahaina, which is the pyro version).
