General Mark Milley says the pope was deeply concerned about the loss of life.
Kyiv estimates nearly 19,500 children have been taken to Russia or Russian-occupied Crimea since February 2022.
The general, who is visiting several European countries, said the pope was deeply concerned about the loss of life in Ukraine, particularly of civilians, since Russia invaded in February 2022. Francis has condemned the international arms trade in general but said last year that it is morally legitimate for nations to supply weapons to Ukraine to help the country defend itself against Russian aggression.
