Pope Francis met with Moscow’s ambassador to the Vatican on Friday at the Russian embassy to express his concerns about the invasion of Ukraine.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni told CNN that the pope went to express his “concern about the war” in Ukraine and met with the ambassador for more than an hour and a half.
The visit is considered to be an unusual occurrence and is not in accordance with normal protocols.
Ukrainian forces are ready to face Russian troops as they line up on the highway and streets of Kiev.
Russian forces are now thought to be inside the city, although their exact location and number is unclear.
Clashes were reported in Obolon, on the outskirts of the city, while Russians were also seen in the districts of Vorzel, Bucha, Irpen.
Russian troops are thought to have arrived from the northeast after being pushed by Chernobyl, which was captured late yesterday.
More Russian troops and armored forces are advancing towards the capital from Konotop, east, leaving the city of Chernihiv, where they clashed with Ukrainian resistance.
Anton Herashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister, said today would be “the most difficult day” of the war.
Once Kiev is besieged, US intelligence believes the plan will be for Russian special forces to enter and take over an airport likely Sikorsky or Boryspil, which will then be used to fly the 10,000 aircraft that will attack.
