16 March 2022From next Monday the Pope’s radio station will expand its Ukrainian and
Russian programmes. The increase of shortwave frequencies aims to
empower the Radio’s outreach in its mission to communicate the Gospel
message and to “read” current events through this perspective.
By Vatican NewsFrom Monday, 21 March, Vatican Radio will increase its shortwave
broadcasts to Ukraine and Russia. In addition to the two daily
broadcasts (afternoon and evening) in the two languages, the morning
programmes to Moscow and Kyiv will last twenty minutes longer."The decision,” Massimiliano Menichetti, head of Vatican Radio Vatican
News explains, “was taken with the agreement of the entire management
team of the Dicastery for Communication, at this time when war is
raging, in order to better respond to our mission: to bring hope, the
Pope's words and the reading of facts through the light of the Gospel to
the whole world.”In these past weeks, he added, thanks to a network of direct contacts
that support the work of our reporters, we are trying to give comfort to
those who are suffering and to ensure timely information.The frequencies of Vatican Radio, the pages and posts of Vatican News in
51 languages (including English and Italian in sign language) aim to not
leave anyone alone, even in the awareness of the power of prayer".Vatican Radio's new shortwave broadcasts
