Pope Francis talked about Ukraine in the hospital. What is the current condition of the pontiff.

Pope Francis is almost recovered from a recent deterioration in health and had a quiet night. This was reported by the Vatican. According to Vatican News, the pontiff called on the faithful to pray for peace in the world just as they pray for him.

'Military conflicts become even more absurd,' he said, urging prayer for 'the suffering Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Myanmar, Sudan, and Kivu (a region in the Democratic Republic of the Congo).'

It was previously reported that Francis's condition is stable following a respiratory crisis and he spent a quiet night in the hospital. The 88-year-old pope has been hospitalized since February 14 due to bilateral pneumonia. There are many speculations regarding future events concerning the conclave.

Some media even spread rumors that the Swiss guard protecting the pope had begun rehearsing the pontiff's funeral, but this information has been denied. In a private conversation, the pontiff stated that he would not survive illness this time.
