Ukrainian officials criticized the Pope for another part of his speech in which he described 29-year-old Daria Dugina, who was killed in a car bombing in Moscow on Saturday, as an innocent victim.
"Innocents pay for war," Francis Wednesday, going on to reference "that poor girl thrown in the air by a bomb under the seat of a car in Moscow."
