Warning from Guterres about the danger of nuclear war

On the eve of the anniversary of the start of the Russian war in Ukraine, Antonio Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, warned of the high risk of war and the use of nuclear weapons.

Antonio Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, on the evening of Thursday, February 23, at the beginning of the extraordinary session of the General Assembly of the United Nations, warned about the danger of war escalation and the use of nuclear weapons.

In his speech at the opening of this session, he said, “In the past year, we have not only witnessed increasing pain, suffering, and destruction, but it is becoming increasingly clear that the severity of the situation can worsen significantly.”

The UN Secretary-General, referring to various threats, stated, “Among these threats, we have heard implicit indications of the use of nuclear weapons. The tactical use of nuclear weapons is absolutely unacceptable.”

Guterres, referring to the statements of Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, who had said that his country would use atomic weapons if it were in a threatening situation, stated that now we must distance ourselves from the precipice as quickly as possible.
