UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres arrived in Russia on Tuesday with a message to end the war. He called on the Russian Foreign Minister to end the war as soon as possible. The UN secretary-general will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin later on Tuesday.
Speaking at a joint news conference with Lavrov, Guterres said the purpose and agenda of his visit was to save lives and reduce suffering.
But it is clear that there are two different positions on what is happening in Ukraine. According to the Russian Federation, special military operations are being conducted there. According to the United Nations, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine violates the country’s territorial integrity.
“But it is my firm belief that the sooner we end this war, the better for the people of Ukraine, for the people of the Russian Federation and for the people outside it.”
