“I understand that the Russian Federation has a number of claims in relation to what is happening in Ukraine, as well as European, global security,” said the head of the world organization.

He noted that these "grievances" must be resolved with the tools provided by the UN Charter.

At the beginning of the meeting, the head of the Russian state reminded Guterres that the whole problem around Ukraine arose after the coup d'état that took place in Kyiv in 2014.
