Time To Negotiate End To ‘unwinnable’ War In Ukraine, UN Chief by joyandfaith: 3:40am On Mar 23, 2022
22 March 2022
Peace and Security
It’s time for a diplomatic solution to be found to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, amidst signs of hope that progress can be made to end an “unwinnable” and “indefensible” war, said the UN chief on Tuesday.

António Guterres briefed journalists outside the Security Council in New York, telling them from his own outreach efforts with “various actors”, “elements of diplomatic progress are coming into view on several key issues.”


‘Enough on the table’
He said there was “enough on the table” for an immediate ceasefire, and the start of serious talks to stop the slaughter in Ukrainian cities such a Mariupol.

“This war is unwinnable”, he said, in a stark message to Russia. “Sooner or later, it will have to move from the battlefield to the peace table. This is inevitable.

“The only question is: How many more lives must be lost?

“How many more bombs must fall? How many more Mariupols must be destroyed? How many more Ukrainians and Russians will be killed before everyone realizes that this war has no winners - only losers?”

Continuing the fighting, Mr. Guterres said, was “morally unacceptable, politically indefensible and militarily nonsensical.”

‘Appalling human suffering’
He reminded that Russia launched its invasion a month ago, in violation of the UN Charter, after months of military buildup. Since then, it has inflicted “appalling human suffering and destruction in cities, towns and villages. Systematic bombardments that terrorized civilians. The shelling of hospitals, schools, apartment buildings and shelters.”

But the reality for Russia, he added, is that “the war is going nowhere, fast. For more than two weeks, Mariupol has been encircled by the Russian army and relentlessly bombed, shelled and attacked. For what? Even if Mariupol falls”, he warned, “Ukraine cannot be conquered city by city, street by street, house by house.

The only outcome would be more suffering, he said.


‘Time to end this absurd war’
“The Ukrainian people are enduring a living hell – and the reverberations are being felt worldwide with skyrocketing food, energy and fertilizer prices threatening to spiral into a global hunger crisis”, the UN chief added.

He repeated his concern that developing countries - after just a month of brutal fighting in one of the world’s grain producing breadbaskets, and already suffocating under the burden of COVID and inadequate financing - were already suffering economic shocks worldwide.

“What I said from this podium almost one month ago should be even more evident today. By any measure – by even the shrewdest calculation - it is time to stop the fighting and give peace a chance.

“It is time to end this absurd war.”

Not when the party that has been claiming victory is now begging for an end.

I thought you people claimed that USA is the alpha and Omega. Well it is just a matter of time before the entire Eastern Europe unite against all West (not just USA).

It is easy to get islamists into a region, but the hard part is to get them to leave. We see the Jihadi Chechen fighters from Syria USA brought to fight on Ukrainian side but we just laugh. Europe allowing such thing to be replayed in their territory proves that they (Christians) never learnt anything from Constantinople, maybe Righteousness1 will explain to you what happened there.

Goodluck to USA for allowing safe passage of Islamists from Syria to Eastern Europe.

Did the US inform you that they are fighting a War?

Why are you guys hell bent on dragging the US into Russia’s aggression? Ordinary Ukraine, Russia is struggling, but you lots won’t leave the US out of the discussion.

US president has said they are not sending no single Troop to Ukraine, but they will support the best way they can.

Is Ukraine the only country the US is standing behind in such issues If Russia wants a War with the US, they should attack Poland (NATO Member) which is the corridor of Arms supply to Ukraine.

No be to dey make mouth online about Nuclear weapon.

YES, Live on TV for the whole world.

Calls for humanitarian ceasefire but continued shelling refugees and hospitals, kids. who TF is the Liar?

If them born Putin well, he should attack Poland, the corridor for Ukraine arms supply. That’s all, If he no rain on Russia then you can call out the US for saying what they cannot do.

It has been confirmed.
USA want to turn Eastern Europe to West Africa and Middle East.
Chechen Islamists of all jihadis.

I laugh when I see the USA zombie fan boys complain of real Chechen fighters from khadrov Chechen Republic as Islamists. Now they will see the real Jihadis in action.
They are battle tested no doubt but they can't win against their own nation. With time Khadrov Chechen soldiers will have the day but the problem will be getting them to leave Eastern Europe.

This same stupidity cost Christians Eastern Orthodox Capital of Constantinople to the Turks, of which they can never get it back in this life or next. KIEV will be next.
They never learn.

Every sensible person knows the UN is compromised. Well since the war is unwinnable, there is no need for one party to be begging all European Parliament like bambiala. There is no need begging even the pope to help negotiate a ceasefire, begging Bennett to help negotiate, begging Xi to help negotiate, begging even your opponent Putin to come to the table that you are ready to discuss a neutrality you previously arrogantly refused before the war. Media praises and western appraisals will not change the true dynamics on ground. Ukraine made the biggest mistakes of their life voting in this a man that placed little values to their lives in other to further the US foreign policy. War is bad, only a fool goes to a fight he has no ability of winning, oh I forgot, he was goaded into it. Did he not see all the nations that has turned down US pressures, arm twisting, even NATO members?

The glaring truth hurts you so bad right? Painful as it is, Ukraine is finished and there is nothing you can do about it. Media could not win the war. US and it’s allies are now trying to push a stalemate narrative to massage their bruised egos because despite economic sanctions, supplies of start of the art armament from NATO allies and media support, Ukraine still ended up being destroyed by less than 10% of the Russian army. This was a proxy war between NATO and Russia fought on Ukrainian territory. It’s a big image loss for NATO and they desperately want to save face. War is bad, but this war is already won and we know the winner.

You daft, all these are defensive weapon, how about they send offensive weapon like aircraft or tanks, who rate defensive weapons, park well, if nato got guts impose no fly zone or attack directly not attacking under volunteers names and using civilians as shield.
And What’ll you call hiding weapons in humanitarian & civilian vehicles? It’s cowardice to me. Russia has made it clear, any country that intervene will collect nato or no nato.

Do away with cnn and you’ll see things differently.

Lol, Italy is not a border town to Ukraine how are they supposed to be a corridor for arms supply?? Mumu man, I specifically made mention of Poland being a corridor for arms supply to Ukraine, you’re bringing up fighter jet.

Is Jet the only thing called arms?? All the weapons being sent to Ukraine got in via Poland.

Ask your father to Nuke Poland, he said any country that interferes will face grave consequences, we’re still waiting for him to Nuke Poland.

Let me school you small, we have defensive and offensive weapons, for now it’s only defensive weapon entering Ukraine, till when offensive weapons like tanks, aircraft etc I wouldn’t take Poland serious. I’m still waiting for Poland to send her jets to Ukraine, still waiting. And most of this weapon are transported with civilians and humanitarian corridors, that’s why Russia have been shelling hospital and gullible like you will be crying innocent civilians, don’t worry, let’s wait 1mnth extra no school or hospital structure will remain

The war in Ukraine is not one Ukraine is hoping on to win or give up on either..

... IT'S THE CONTRACT OF NATO"
zelensky's Ukraine is a clear bait for Russian aggression.
Ukraine would never ever be part of NATO or the EU, never! not because they aren't fit but because they are Putin's bait. They are the perfect tool for destabilising Putin's economy when the need be

... It's the perfect tool of Russian destruction, this war. From sanctions to isolation. Russia was becoming too powerful and a threat.

Look at the amount of 'charitable' weapons flooding into Ukraine. ( giving people guns to defend themselves isn't trying to end a war, it's fueling it) This is why zelensky' can openly badmouth the US, NATO allies occasionally for not doing enough ( because he was promised heaven and earth). THE GOAL IS TO FORGO UKRAINE FOR THE ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION OF RUSSIA AND A POSSIBLE RUSSIAN COUP/ANTI-PUTIN UPRISING.

Forgo Ukraine?... Yes, Ukraine has never being recognised as a country. It's the perfect ground for everything evil, corruptible, it has never enjoyed democracy.


IN ALL OF THIS: Putin fell in a hole dug specifically for him and the Russian economy.
