Before seeing Putin, António Guterres met with the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov.
As Lavrov stated at the press conference after the meeting, Russia says it is ready to cooperate with the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to protect the civilian population in Ukraine.
“Our objectives lie, above all, in the protection of the civilian population, we are interested in this in collaborating both with UN colleagues and with ICRC colleagues,” said the head of Russian diplomacy.
According to Lavrov, The head of the UN “is perfectly informed about the decisions made public by President Putin on the motives and objectives of the operation carried out by our military together with the Donetsk and Lugansk militias on Ukrainian territory.”
Also, the Russian president has refused the need for mediators in Ukraine; “talking about mediators at the current stage, in my view, is premature,” she said.
He criticized the behavior of the Ukrainian delegation in the negotiations, and recalled that Moscow “is still waiting for kyiv’s response to the settlement proposal that it submitted 10-12 days ago.”
He has accused the West of continuing the line of stuffing Ukraine with “massive quantities” of weapons. “If this continues, of course, the negotiations will hardly get any results,” she warned.
Guterres has responded by denouncing the “invasion” and “the violation of the territorial integrity” of Ukraine by the Russian Army and has called for an independent investigation about “possible war crimes”.
The head of the United Nations has stressed that the Secretariat of the multilateral organization does not have the authority to investigate allegations of violations of international law in Ukraine, but that there are appropriate institutions for this, such as the International Criminal Court and various mechanisms in the human rights system. humans.
