In a press conference, the Secretary-General of the United Nations ruled out “a military intervention” and said, “I am convinced that this will not happen” and “I really hope that I am right.”
“I think diplomacy is the way to solve problems,” Guterres added, stressing the need to “avoid the worst.”
US President Joe Biden said Wednesday that his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, who has amassed troops on the border with Ukraine, does not want a “large-scale war”.
But he said, “I think he will enter” Ukraine one way or another, adding that “something will have to be done,” without giving further details.
Russia stresses that it has no intention of militarily interfering in Ukraine, despite the fact that it has deployed forces and weapons at its borders.
