According to Antonio Guterres, secretary general of the UN, there are currently no signs that the Ukrainian war will be resolved.
“Hope never ends, but I would of course be lying if I would say that I believe we are seeing in the immediate horizon a possibility of peace in Ukraine,” he noted.
“I think that we are not yet there, and it’s why it is so important to take measures to reduce the dramatic negative impacts <…> in relation to the world,” the UN chief added, when asked if any breakthroughs in terms of the Ukraine issue could be expected at the High-Level Week of the UN General Assembly set to take place on September 19-25.
Sergey Lavrov, the foreign minister of Russia, will serve as the delegation’s leader.
