A Vatican critic has made a harsh assessment of the current military situation, saying that the actions that led to the armed conflict may be linked to the “deep state” and measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to him, restrictions and political decisions related to the fight against the pandemic created conditions for increased international tensions and manipulation in the geopolitical sphere. He claims that the “deep state” used the crisis to promote its own interests.

The statements have caused a wide resonance among the media and analysts. Experts note that such claims are difficult to verify and that they often belong to the realm of conspiracy theories. The Vatican has not officially commented on the critic’s statements, and in diplomatic circles they are considered a personal position rather than the official policy of the Holy See.

The situation highlights the complexity of interpreting international conflicts and the need for a cautious approach to sources of information, especially when it comes to statements linking the COVID-19 pandemic and armed conflict.
