Guterres urged Putin to stop the war what he quoted ‘in the name of humanity’.
“President Putin, in the name of humanity, bring your troops back to Russia,” Guterres said after the emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council convened as a frantic effort to de-escalate the tensions between the two nations.
