VOSS Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Quote Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has refused to host United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in Kyiv following his visit to Russia, where he was pictured shaking hands with Russian President Vladimir Putin, an official close to Zelenskyy said. "He shook hands with him [Putin]. He smiled. He was asked to come to promote the BRICS summit even more. He was used by them, and he seemed happy to be used," the official told POLITICO on condition of anonymity to be able to discuss the sensitive matter. Guterres went to the city of Kazan, Russia, to attend the BRICS summit, where on the sidelines he met Putin — who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes. In remarks at the summit, Guterres called for a "just peace." After his visit to Russia, Guterres planned to travel to Kyiv. "Even if some officials prefer the allure of Kazan over the substance of the U.N. Charter, our world is structured so that the rights of nations and international legal norms matter, and will continue to matter," said Zelenskyy in his address. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry earlier also slammed the U.N. chief for his attendance decisions. "The UN Secretary General declined Ukraine's invitation to the first global peace summit in Switzerland. He did, however, accept the invitation to Kazan from war criminal Putin," Ukraine's Foreign Ministry posted on X on Monday. "This is a wrong choice that does not advance the cause of peace. It only damages the UN's reputation," the post continued. Guterres' move garnered various reactions, including from Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis, who indirectly challenged the U.N. head to step down. Yulia Navalnaya, wife of late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, made even harsher comments. Source
Bosque Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Incredible that anyone on earth thinks that the UN is good or worth listening to at all, and not just an elitist club of useless virtue signalers 3

The actual global community (not the Euro-US trash one) isn't going to give two shits about Russia/Ukraine when the US/Europe are propping up Israel doing FAR worse in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank. 4 1

I feel like this more or less sums up the Global South's response to the Ukraine war and why the US's "destroy your economy by sanctioning Russia or else..." ultimatum was so poorly received. Countries like India or Brazil are not pro-Russia or pro-Ukraine, they just... don't care. "Wow, you're telling me a great power broke the UN Charter and invaded a sovereign country under false grounds of humanitarian intervention?" Biden's cries about "respecting sovereignty" and "fighting for democracy" ring hollow when you remember Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Panama, Grenada, etc. etc. To most of the world, Ukraine is just a proxy war between the West and Russia. Guterres meeting with Putin is tasteless, but no different than stuff like this: 5 1 1

The way they still haven't banned Israel for their apartheid, genocide, and ethnic cleansing is sickening. Thanks for bringing attention to this important topic, @Bosque! 4
