“German nonprofit organization Cinema for Peace honored Pope Francis and documentary filmmaker Evgeny Afineevsky in a private ceremony at the Vatican on Tuesday night for their work in support of Ukraine’s fight against the ongoing Russian invasion, with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also named as an honoree.
