    Pope calls for Easter truce in Ukraine leading to peace negotiations

    VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis on Sunday called for an Easter truce in Ukraine, leading to negotiations and peace.

    "Put the weapons down!" he said at the end of a Palm Sunday service for tens of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square.

    "Let An Easter truce start. But not to rearm and resume combat but a truce to reach peace through real negotiations," he said.
