Faced with the humanitarian panorama, António Guterres argued that the only lasting solution to end the suffering of people is peace.



The UN secretary-general on Wednesday sent letters to the Russian and Ukrainian missions asking for a meeting with the leaders of those countries.

According to the statement released by the UN spokesman, Guterres asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to receive him in Moscow and also Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to meet with him in kyiv.

In the letters, António Guterres announced that he would be willing to discuss measures in order to achieve an end to the conflict in Ukraine.

Guterres also called for a four-day humanitarian truce on Tuesday, in order to open humanitarian corridors for aid deliveries and the evacuation of civilians.

The pause proposed by the UN will allow civilians to move to safe areas and the delivery of aid to places such as Mariupol, Donetsk, Lugansk and Kherson.

According to UN data, more than four million people in those areas need help.
