Reporters have been informed by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that both parties have agreed to resolve it through combat.
There is no chance for a peaceful resolution to the situation in Ukraine in the near future, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters on Friday. Moscow and Kiev are committed to accomplishing their goals through force.
At a news conference held in advance of the G20 summit in New Delhi, India, Guterres stated, “I am not very hopeful that we’ll have a peaceful solution in the immediate future.” “I believe the parties have still made up their minds to continue the conflict,”
According to the most recent data from the Russian Defence Ministry, Kiev’s forces in Ukraine have recently used 66,000 personnel and 7,600 pieces of heavy equipment in an effort to breach Russian defences between the Kherson and Donetsk areas.
Vladimir Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, maintains that his military will retake the formerly Ukrainian regions of Kherson, Zaporozhye, the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as Crimea, which chose to join the Russian Federation in 2014. Despite media reports to the contrary, Kiev’s Western backers appear to view this counteroffensive as a failure.
The crisis might be resolved diplomatically, according to Russia, but any agreement would need to take into account the “new territorial reality”—that the aforementioned regions won’t be returned to Ukraine. Additionally, conversations would take place “directly with his masters,” not with Zelensky, who is a puppet in the hands of the West, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
