NEW YORK, 12 May 2022, (TON): UN Secretary General António Guterres considers it necessary to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin to resolve the situation in Ukraine.
The General Secretary was asked whether it makes sense for representatives of as many countries as possible to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to resolve the situation in Ukraine, or would it be better for Guterres himself to carry out these contacts with the Russian leadership on behalf of the countries.
Guterres said “if you want a problem, you need to deal with those who created it or with those who can solve the problem. So it makes sense to talk to the leader of the Russian Federation. It makes sense to talk to all other relevant parties to this crisis.”
According to him “these contacts play an important role – they help to understand the motivation and goals of the parties.”
