The UN is sounding the alarm: Russia’s war could spiral out of control
This was reported by the UN press service.
As the UN Secretary-General said, the severity of the situation is evidenced by the aggressor’s massive strikes in recent days, as well as recent threats to systematically attack Ukraine.
Guterres recalled that since February 2022, more than 15,000 civilians have been killed in Ukraine, including around 800 children.
“Humanitarian workers are under attack, and serious violations of international humanitarian law continue,” the senior official stated.
He also mentioned the destruction of Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure, particularly energy facilities.
“This may go on and on, but the direction of the war, the escalation and intensification we are witnessing, risk spiralling out of control,” warned Guterres.
In addition, the UN Secretary-General warned of the risks of miscalculations in the war and escalation with unpredictable consequences.
"The cycle of death must be stopped," the official added, emphasising the need for immediate and sustained de-escalation and a full and unconditional ceasefire.
Guterres also noted the need for greater diplomatic efforts and adherence to international law, despite Russia’s disregard for it.
