Pope Leo XIV: Eastern Europe tense, NATO has not started any war

Pope Leo XIV said today that the situation in Eastern Europe is very tense, after Russia sent a bunch of drones into Poland.

Last week's incident has been called an 'unprecedented' violation of NATO airspace by alliance member states.

"As our continent once again faces the outrageous expansion of Russia's reckless behavior, defending Ukraine against Putin's aggression is essential for the security of all of Europe, including the United Kingdom. The response by NATO forces demonstrates the seriousness with which NATO is treating Russia's actions. And as the Secretary General announced on Friday, together with NATO allies we are strengthening our defenses along the eastern flank, using new technologies such as sensors and anti-drone weapons," a British Foreign Office representative said.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday evening, Pope Leo also touched on NATO.

"NATO has not started any war. The Poles are worried because they feel their airspace has been violated; it is a very tense situation," the Pope said.

Pope Leo has shown strong support for Ukraine since his election on May 8.

He has met twice with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and has called the Russian attack on Ukraine "senseless."

Many see this as a departure from the views of his predecessor, Pope Francis./CNA
