New York: As the third anniversary of the Ukraine war approaches, the UN Chief Urges Immediate Peace, calling for an end to hostilities. Antonio Guterres emphasized the urgent need for a just, sustainable, and comprehensive peace that respects Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.
Guterres Demands De-Escalation
As Ukraine’s war nears three years, the UN chief urges peace. In a statement, he emphasized the urgent need to end the conflict, which has caused immense suffering.
“After three years of death and destruction, I once again call for urgent de-escalation and an immediate end to the hostilities,” Guterres said.
Peace Must Respect Ukraine’s Sovereignty
The UN chief stressed that any peace deal must uphold Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity. He warned that a resolution should not compromise Ukraine’s rights under international law.
His comments come as global leaders discuss potential diplomatic solutions. While there have been efforts to negotiate, the situation remains tense, with ongoing battles in several regions of Ukraine.
A Growing Humanitarian Crisis
The war has caused thousands of deaths and displaced millions. The humanitarian situation continues to worsen, with civilians facing shortages of food, water, and medical aid. The UN has repeatedly called for humanitarian access and protection for those affected.
International Calls for Action
World leaders, including those from the United States and European Union, have echoed Guterres’ appeal for peace. However, major challenges remain, as Russia and Ukraine hold differing views on negotiations.
With no clear resolution in sight, the UN chief’s strong message highlights the urgent need for a diplomatic breakthrough. As the anniversary of the war approaches, pressure is mounting for a peaceful resolution.
The world now watches to see whether leaders will act on Guterres’ plea and work toward ending the devastating conflict.
