UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told a meeting chaired by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday that Moscow's invasion of Ukraine is "causing massive suffering and devastation to the country and its people" and fueling "global economic dislocation triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic."
"Tensions between major powers are at an historic high. So are the risks of conflict, through misadventure or miscalculation," Guterres said during a UN Security Council meeting, while seated next to Lavrov at the horseshoe shaped table.
