President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected UN Secretary General António Guterres' visit to Ukraine due to his participation in the BRICS conference in Kazan, Russia.

Quote: "After Kazan, (Guterres) wanted to come to Ukraine, but the president did not confirm his visit. So Guterres won't be here, specifically because of the humiliation of sanity and international law in Kazan."
Details: According to the source, the UN Secretary General's visit will not take place since his actions undermined the importance of international law and the International Criminal Court, which issued an arrest warrant for Putin.
Ukrainska Pravda's sources in the President's Office confirm this information.
On 22 October, UN Secretary-General António Guterres arrived in Kazan in Russia on an unannounced visit on the first day of the three-day BRICS summit.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine criticised this decision and recalled that Guterres refused to go to the Peace Summit, which Ukraine organised in Switzerland in June.

The UN has become a global aid organization and not a mediator and influencer. Ban Ki-moon was spitting blood trying to end the war in Syria. He did not succeed but bravely stood up and asked for forgiveness from the Syrian people. Guteress sheds tears on Twitter but mostly avoids responsibility and blames.
His failures regarding the Middle-East are nothing compared to his trip to the BRICS summit in Russia. Instead of fighting the damage to the status of the organization from all the powers and especially from Trump, he chose to get together and get closer and give up on the United States and choose members whose stated goal is to change the United Nations and tailor it according to the ambitions of dictators and leaders who deliberately violate the human rights of their citizens.

France condemned Israel’s move to declare the same UN chief (Antonio Guterres) as a “persona non grata”. Is France going to also condemn Ukraine?
