Pope Francis will not be able to visit Moscow and Kyiv until after a gathering of religious leaders in Kazakhstan on Sept. 13-15 on his doctor's orders due to a knee problem, he told CNN Portugal in an interview to be aired in full later on Monday.
In an excerpt published on the channel's website, Francis was asked about his previously announced plans to visit Ukraine and Russia following his recent trip to Canada to foster dialogue for the end of hostilities between the two countries.
