According to him, since the start of the military special operation in Ukraine, relations between the European Union and Russia have worsened "in many aspects."

Guterres added that a number of Russians wished to leave the country because of the events around Ukraine.

“So it’s probably not a good idea to prevent them from coming,” RIA Novosti quotes the words of the UN Secretary General.

Earlier it became known that Russia will insist on the launch of arbitration by Guterres against the United States due to the fact that Russian diplomats constantly face problems in issuing visas.
