UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called on the world leaders to come together to silence the guns and uphold the values of the UN Charter as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine heads into what is likely to be a protracted war.
In a statement, UN Secretary-General Guterres said, " Today, for the first time, the Security Council spoke with one voice for peace in Ukraine. As I have often said, the world must come together to silence the guns and uphold the values of the UN Charter. I welcome this support and will continue to spare no effort to save lives, reduce suffering and find the path of peace."
Responding to his statement, the U.N. Security Council expressed “strong support” for Guterres’ efforts to find a peaceful solution to the 10-week “dispute.”
Last week, Guterres reached a compromise with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky for the evacuation of civilians, first and foremost the besieged south-eastern port city of Mauripol and its last Ukrainian forces holdout at the Azovstal steel plant, where hundreds of civilians are also still living in underground bunkers, according to UN.
