UN Secretary-General António Guterres is stepping up his diplomatic attempts to reach a ceasefire in the Ukraine war. Guterres sent letters to the UN missions of Russia and Ukraine: “In these letters, the Secretary General asked President (Vladimir) Putin to receive him in Moscow and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to receive him in Kyiv,” spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Tuesday Wednesday in New York. “Urgent steps” must be taken to establish peace in Ukraine. The UN chief has recently called for a ceasefire in the Ukraine war. A ceasefire from Thursday would give civilians the opportunity to leave contested areas, he said Tuesday. At the same time, aid organizations could provide life-saving support in particularly affected regions such as Mariupol, Cherson and Donetsk.
