Moscow says Vatican apologised over Pope's comments about 'cruel' Russian ethnic minorities
MOSCOW, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Russia said on Thursday it had received an apology from the Vatican over Pope Francis' comments last month that Russian soldiers from some ethnic minority groups were the "cruellest" fighters in the Ukraine conflict.
At a briefing in Moscow, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Russia now considered the matter closed and hoped for a constructive dialogue between Russia and the Vatican.

Father, in all fairness, this war between these two countries who have struggled with each other for centuries isn't as simple as the media wants us to believe. To reduce it to "Ukraine Good-Putin Bad" is a huge disservice to the truth. It is a very complicated mess and, as much as we would like to just put it all in a neat, categorized box, there is plenty of blame to share on both sides.
