“Final destruction”: Zelensky’s office commented on the UN Secretary General’s visit to Russia

Podolyak suggested that now the UN will try to get out of this “extremely negative” situation a little better.

The visit of the Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres to the BRICS summit in Russia is the final zeroing of both his reputation and the reputation of the UN, said Mikhail Podolyak, Advisor to the Head of the Presidential Office.

“What is the point of the UN Secretary General’s visit? Instead of coming to the Peace Summit, where international law and the UN statutory documents were recorded as the basic legal infrastructure on the basis of which negotiations can be held – he does not appear here – he comes to the BRICS summit in the Russian Federation. He meets with a criminal (dictator Vladimir Putin, – ed.) – at least, there is already a suspicion. After this, what do we want to get from an institution called the UN?!” – he emphasized on the air of the TV channel ” We are Ukraine “.

Podolyak suggested that now the UN will try to get out of this “extremely negative” situation a little better.

“But, in my opinion, this looks like the final destruction of the UN as an international organization. Moreover, even today the UN has no levers of influence on certain crisis situations, this is already obvious. It cannot stop wars, let alone small escalations. What can we say about large-scale wars, which we see today in Eastern Europe. The UN does not even have the tools to deprive a country that demonstratively nullifies the UN Charter of the right to be present in the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly. Therefore, this visit will not affect the course of events in the war, nor the position of Russia, nor the position of Ukraine, nor the formation of the possibility of holding negotiations that would be based on international law. This is the final nullification of the reputation of the UN and Mr. Guterres personally,” the adviser to the head of the OP stated.
