Antonio Guterres, secretary-general of the United Nations, harshly denounced Russia’s intentions to invade Ukraine on Thursday, calling the action a legally meaningless action.
Guterres stated in New York that “any decision to move forward in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Ukraine’s Zaporizhia will have no legal value and is deplorable.”
Incompatible with the “international legal framework,” this approach, according to Guterres, marked a “dangerous escalation” of the conflict and “has no place in the modern world and should not be permitted.”
Beginning on Friday, four Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine will be annexed, according to a statement from the Kremlin. These districts recently held referendums that the international community derided as being manipulated. .
Russia’s intentions to annexe Ukraine are denounced by Guterres.
