UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Monday sharply criticized Russia for the war in Ukraine, accusing the Putin regime of “causing great suffering and destruction to the country and its people” and exacerbating “global economic migration caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.” “.
The attack took on particular urgency as it took place at a meeting of the Security Council on multilateralism chaired by Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov.
Guterres also warned of high risks of tensions between the great powers, which Lavrov supported but indirectly criticized the US for endangering multilateralism.
Meanwhile, China has distanced itself from its ambassador to France, Lou Chaillet, who has been at the center of a diplomatic incident after questioning the sovereignty of Ukraine and other former Soviet bloc countries last week. On Monday, Beijing pledged to respect the independence of all post-Soviet republics.
