Guterres, making his first visit to Ukraine since 24 February when the war broke out, made these statements in front of destroyed houses: "I imagine my family in one of these houses (...) I see my granddaughters running around in panic. "War is absurd in the 21st century, no war is acceptable in the 21st century."
The Secretary of State. U.N. p.g. also went to Butcha, another Kiev suburb where there are allegations of war crimes being committed by Russian soldiers, and will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky later in the afternoon.
Guterres arrived in Ukraine yesterday Wednesday evening. On Tuesday he visited Moscow where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin who asked him to work with the UN to remove civilians from areas shelled by the Russian military, mainly in eastern and southern Ukraine.
