He was not the Pope yet, of course, since it was 3 years ago, but here is what he had to say:
“While serving as Bishop of Chiclayo in Peru, Robert Prevost — recently appointed Pope Leo XIV — spoke out against Russia's continued war against Ukraine in a 2022 interview.
Speaking with Peruvian news outlet
Semanario Expresión, Prevost condemned Russia's
war against Ukraine, characterizing it as a "a true invasion, imperialist in nature, where Russia seeks to conquer territory for reasons of power."
President
Volodymyr Zelensky recently congratulated the new pope on his
appointment.
"Ukraine deeply values the Holy See's consistent position in upholding international law, condemning the Russian Federation's military aggression against Ukraine, and protecting the rights of
innocent civilians," he said.
While serving as a bishop in Peru, Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, called the full-scale war "a true invasion, imperialist in nature, where Russia seeks to conquer territory for reasons of power."

Glad to have a Pope who is willing to be outspoken.
