Russian Invasion: Vatican to send two cardinals into Ukraine to help refugees
Two senior Catholic cardinals are set to arrive in war-ravaged Ukraine in the next few days to provide humanitarian support, according to the Vatican.
Konrad Krajewski, a 58-year-old Pole, is already on his way to the Ukrainian border with Poland to talk with refugees and helpers.
Michael Czerny, a 75-year-old Canadian, is expected in Hungary on Tuesday, where he is expected to also meet with refugees.
Afterwards, both are set to cross the border into Ukraine proper.
Mr Krajewski is the papal almoner, which means he carries out charitable acts in the pope’s name and raises the funding for them.
Mr Czerny has a long interest in migrant rights and is the acting prefect for the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development.
Pope Francis announced the trips on Sunday but did not mention Russia at the time.
