Ukraine furious at Pope Francis's call to 'raise the white flag'
After the pope's interview with a Swiss broadcaster, in which he said Kyiv should 'have the courage to raise the white flag,' the Vatican issued a statement insisting he intended to mean 'a truce reached with the courage of negotiation.'

a couple interesting parts:
In a sign of how angered Kyiv was, Ukrainian officials compared the statement to some of the Catholic church collaborating with Nazi Germany in World War II. "At the same time, when it comes to the white flag, we know this Vatican strategy from the first half of the 20th century," Kuleba said, calling on the Holy See to "avoid repeating the mistakes of the past".

Ukraine's ambassador to the Vatican, Andrii Yurash, went further by comparing the pope's negotiation suggestion to talking to Adolf Hitler: "[The] lesson is only one – if we want to finish war, we have to do everything to kill [the] Dragon!" he said on social media.
if that isn't a sign that you have no logical argument, I don't know what is.
