UN chief embarks on Moscow trip amid criticism

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will start a difficult three-day trip to Russia and Ukraine on Tuesday amid criticism for the limited role played by the United Nations in the management of the crisis.
Three months into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, UN agencies are struggling to reach civilians under siege in the east of the country, where humanitarian assistance is sporadic.

Al Jazeera’s James Bays, reports from the UN.

[markodoherty]

So I wish UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres best of luck in this endeavor of restoring Peace and Harmony between Russia and Ukraine. He has my blessings.

dialogue and diplomacy is what is needed to end this war, if you are against diplomacy one would guess that you are pro war.

Hold talks first to Palestine and Israel. You UN Sec Gen should also implemented UN approved resolution regarding Palestine sovereign territory right to state. And He denounces the Israel war crimes against Palestine since 1947.

I doubt there's anything that he is expecting Putin to say that he haven't said before like a thousand times on the matter.

Any move towards peace is good, no reason to criticize. Russia has already occupied Eastern side of Ukraine.See Patrick Lancaster footage.

[nickstoic]

What about the Minsk Agreement 2014? Could have been a lot easier if the west, US and NATO would mind their own business. Ukraine and Russia could have been brothers and have a wonderful relationship. Well, Ukraine fell for the BS promised by the west, NATO and so on.

[shumble]

While UN vetoes exist the UN can only play a limited role.

[jerrymiller]

If putin would not agree to a cease fire then how is he going to agree to withdraw from ALL of Ukraine and pay to rebuild Ukraine?

[nazeerquraishi]

Why this "guitar" man not travelling to Yemen on peace mission, are they not human beings in Yemen.

[joaneskins]

700 brave Spartan Ukrainians holding back a demoralized 200, 000 Russian Army is epic & legendary & will go down in history!

[bobangel]

Left all sanction BEFORE TALK that is what Russian must do

[jeremiemumbere]

Don't call Ukraine and Russia. Call USA and Russia

[anakbaru]

When was Guterres Palestine? Does the UN only belong to non-Muslim countries?

[gyanendrakumar]

Dissolve UN body. It is waste of money and time.
And start Democratic countries group and joint military alliance

[krissfoBE]

Dialogue is the only way towards long term peace
