Brazil's Lula discusses peace, poverty and inequality with pope

Pope Francis met Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and discussed a range of common concerns including peace, poverty, inequality and the environment, the Vatican said

Although the Vatican did not specifically mention Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Lula made clear before the meeting that seeking an end to the war was a priority.
