United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres is to visit Russia on Ukraine next week.
He intends to discuss ways “to silence the guns” in Ukraine during his visit to Moscow on April 26, Associate Spokesperson for the UN chief Eri Kaneko said at a briefing.
“His message will be, as he said in his letter, it’s – he wants to discuss with the [Russian] leadership what steps can be taken right now in order to silence the guns, in order to help the people, in order to allow people who need to get out to get out in safe passage,” she pointed out.
While in Moscow, Guterres will hold a working meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and will also be received by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The UN chief will then “have a working meeting with Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba and will be received by President Vladimir Zelensky on April 28,” his office said in a statement.
“He will also meet with staff of UN agencies to discuss the scaling up of humanitarian assistance to the people of Ukraine,” the statement added.
