Pope Francis on Sunday appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin, imploring him to "stop this spiral of violence and death" in Ukraine, and denounced what he called the "absurd" risk of nuclear war. Francis made his strongest appeal yet on the seventh-month war as he addressed the public in St. Peter's Square.
