“Ukraine is on fire. The country is being decimated before the eyes of the world. The impact on civilians is reaching terrifying proportions,” UN Chief showed his concern as the war enters its 19th day.
Guterres added that the appeals for peace must be heard saying that it is never too late for diplomacy and dialogue.
On February 24, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine after the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics requested help in ‘defending themselves’.
The Russian Defence Ministry said the special operation is targeting Ukrainian military infrastructure only and the civilian population is not in danger.
The West, however, denies these claims by the Russians and in response, Western nations have imposed comprehensive sanctions on Moscow. In addition, they introduced sanctions on Belarus for supporting Russia’s operation in Ukraine.
