Pope Francis advocates for Ukrainian refugees during Hungary visit.
Pope Francis thanked Hungary for welcoming Ukrainian refugees and urged them to help anyone in need, while advocating for a culture of charity in a country with firm anti-immigration policies. Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orbán, has justified his anti-immigration policies by claiming that migration threatens Europe's Christian culture. Despite this, Hungary has accepted 2.5 million Ukrainian refugees fleeing war in their country, but monetary assistance for them has been meagre. Pope Francis praised Hungary's Catholic church for providing aid to refugees and urged continued charity towards anyone who needs help.
