According to TASS, this was stated at a briefing by the official representative of the Secretary General, Stéphane Dujarric.
“The Secretary General continues to believe that world leaders will continue negotiations, even if it takes a long time to resolve this issue.
The conflict will be a disaster not only for the population of Ukraine, but for the region as a whole,” Dujarric said.
According to him, Guterres had a number of contacts with European and other partners on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
Earlier, the head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, called the situation in Donbass critical.
