The former Secretary General of the United Nations and Vice President of The Elders, and Juan Manuel Santos, former President of Colombia and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, are expected to meet with Zelensky.

“Humanity cannot ignore the moral absurdity of Russia’s war against Ukraine. As Elders, we are here to listen and learn,” Santos said upon his arrival.
