Steinmeier said that when deciding to supply Ukraine with weapons, he had a dilemma between the Christian precept of peace and support for the victims of Russian aggression.
He also noted that the issues of supplying weapons "bother him as a Christian".
As reported, the Pope blessed the supply of weapons to Ukraine.
