Guterres arrives in Ukraine after Russia trip (first*), now informed by Putin and Lavrov about what is happening in Ukraine.

Following his trip to Russia UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced his arrival to the war-torn Ukraine where he will meet President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday evening, the UN chief said: “I have arrived in Ukraine after visiting Moscow. We will continue our work to expand humanitarian support & secure the evacuation of civilians from conflict zones."

“The sooner this war ends, the better for the sake of Ukraine, Russia, and the world.”

In a meeting with Guterres in Moscow on Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in principle to the involvement of the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross in the evacuation of civilians from the Azovstal plant in Mariupol.

The UN is following up on an agreement with Russia to coordinate the evacuation of civilians in Azovstal, a spokesman of the world body announced on Wednesday.
