Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelinsky criticized UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for visiting Russia before visiting Ukraine.
“It is wrong to travel to Russia first and then to visit Ukraine,” Zelensky told reporters in the Ukrainian capital on Sunday. There is no justice and logic in this practice.
Although the UN Secretary-General has made various comments on the crisis since the start of the Ukraine war on February 24 (March 5, 1400), his actions in this regard, like those of other international events, have been widely criticized.
Critics of Guttierez’s performance believe; It is worrying that actors such as Turkey, France, Austria and even the Zionist regime have played the role of mediator in this crisis, and they do not know whether the Secretary General is involved behind any mediation.
Following criticism of the UN mediation role in the war, Guttierez is said to have written to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelinsky on April 30, asking him to meet with them.
Criticizing the West’s indifference to Moscow’s security concerns, Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 21, 2022, recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics in the Donbas region.
Three days later, on Thursday, February 24, 1400, Putin launched a so-called “special operation” against Ukraine, turning tense Moscow-Kiev relations into a military confrontation. The war in Ukraine and the reactions to Russia’s action continue.
