Guterres met Putin in Moscow/BBC
UN Secretary General António Guterres met on April 26 with the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, in Moscow. The President of the aggressor state seems to have agreed to the UN taking part in the evacuation of the civilian population from Mariupol.
The United Nations announced this on social networks. Like, Vladimir Putin agreed to the evacuation of the civilian population from Azovstal – with the participation of the Red Cross and the UN.
António Guteres stressed to Putin that he believes that Russia's actions in relation to Ukraine are precisely an invasion. To this, the head of the Kremlin cynically stated that what is called a “special operation” in Russia did not seem to contradict the UN charter.
to assure Guterres that the Ukrainian military “is hiding behind the civilian population”.
Pay attention! The UN Secretary General told Putin that he seems to understand the Kremlin's displeasure. However, these aspects should be addressed by the tools offered by the United Nations.
