The Pope plans to go to Moscow and Kyiv after his visit to Canada

Pope Francis said he was going to visit Canada in July and hopes to be able to go to Moscow and Kyiv as soon as possible after that, according to Reuters.

In an exclusive interview at his residence at the Vatican, the pope denied rumors that he had cancer, joking that his doctors hadn't told him anything about it.

The pontiff also dismissed reports about his resignation in the near future.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that the Pope plans to meet with Patriarch Kirill in Kazakhstan in autumn 2022.
