UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday reiterated his call for an immediate, complete and unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine as a first step toward achieving a just, lasting and comprehensive peace.
In a statement marking the fourth anniversary of the Ukrainian crisis, which falls on February 24, the UN chief stated that the crisis “is a stain on our collective conscience and remains a threat to peace and security in the region and the world at large.”
The longer the crisis lasts, the more deadly it becomes, he said, with civilians bearing the brunt.
As the Secretary-General noted, for peace to be just, “it must be in accordance with the UN Charter, international law and relevant UN resolutions, respecting the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.”
“The UN remains ready to facilitate all efforts in this direction,” added A. Guterres. –0–
