Antonio Guterres heading to meet Russian President Putin on Tuesday, then Ukrainian president two days later
UNITED NATIONS, United States — UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres will meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Ukraine next week after a stop in Moscow to confer with President Vladimir Putin about the war, the UN said Friday.
Guterres will see Zelensky and Ukraine’s foreign minister on Thursday, two days after visiting Moscow, the United Nations said in a statement.
The Kremlin confirmed Friday that Putin would meet Guterres on Tuesday.
Guterres sent letters this week requesting these in-person meetings to try to regain the initiative for the UN, which has been largely marginalized from the crisis since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.
In part this is because the war has divided the UN Security Council permanent members: the United States, France, Britain, China and Russia.
China has refused to condemn the invasion, depicting Russia as a victim of Western efforts to weaken it.
With the letters he sent on Tuesday, Guterres sought to spur dialogue to end the war.
“At this time of great peril and consequence, he would like to discuss urgent steps to bring about peace in Ukraine,” spokesman Stephane Dujarric said this week.

How about the rapists returning to their shithole? That would just about do it. Then remove the rapists from your useless organisation.
Just in: Le Pen would veto Finland’s, Sweden’s Nato membership! I need a drink!
Hopefully, The Anti-Le Pen vote will coalesce again and she won’t be elected. In the past, that is what has happened.
Mike, I doubt that this piece of shit will win the election.
Macron is worse than useless, this whore is just evil. Ukraine are fucked either way, whoever gets elected.
I agree about Macron 100%. But, the fascist insect Le Pen is much worse.
The meeting will be wholly useless. The UN is wholly useless.
