United Nations, ap. 20 (EFE) .- UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres addressed a letter to Russia, Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zhelensky on Tuesday. The organization said today that it had visited Moscow and Q.

In those letters, Guterres reminded them that both Russia and Ukraine were founding members of the UN and had “always been a staunch supporter of the organization” but that we were now in “times of great danger”.

Guterres tells them that he wants to discuss with them “urgent measures to bring peace to Ukraine” but “the future of unilateralism under the United Nations Charter and international law.”

The role of the UN in the war in Ukraine has been called into question, not only because of its inability to prevent it or its failure to mediate between the parties, but also because Russia has a permanent seat on the Security Council. , The only UN body with some executive power but it is disabled by Russian veto rights.

Yesterday, Guterres proposed that Russia and Ukraine declare a four-day “ceasefire on Easter” (tomorrow marks the beginning of Thursday’s Orthodox Easter), but only Ukraine backed its plan to help evacuate civilians who are increasingly being punished by the war.

On the contrary, without even commenting on Guterres’ proposal, Russia has intensified its attacks on Donetsk, Lukansk and the besieged city of Mariupol. EFE
