U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres spoke separately on Monday with the foreign ministers of Russia and Ukraine and still believed "from his own analysis, his own hopes" that there would not be a conflict, a U.N. spokesman said.
The United Nations has no plans to evacuate or relocate out of Ukraine any of its more than 1,600 staff - of which 220 are foreign staff and more than 1,400 are Ukranian - U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric also said.
