Thu 28 April 2022:
The Security Council failed to go far enough in its efforts to “prevent and end” Russia’s war in Ukraine, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres admitted Thursday while visiting Kyiv.
“Let me be very clear: the Security Council failed to do everything in its power to prevent and end this war. And this is the source of great disappointment, frustration and anger,” he said at a joint news conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Guterres and Zelenskyy also discussed ongoing attempts to evacuate the Azovstal steel plant in the southern port city of Mariupol. Ukrainian fighters and civilians are currently trapped in the plant amid a Russian blockade.
“At the present moment I can only tell you we are doing everything we can to make it happen,” Guterres said.
“I trust and believe — just as many relatives of those who are blocked in Azovstal (steel plant) do — that the Secretary-General will have a successful result,” Zelenskyy said.
