The refusal of the Ukrainian side to host UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres because he visited the BRICS summit in Russia is very dangerous. the  Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico says in the program “60 Minutes” on the “Russia-1”.

Last week, Volodymyr Zelenskyy reproached the world organization for allegedly “some of its official representatives preferring temptations in Kazan” rather than the content of the UN Charter. As previously reported by The Eastern Herald, he refused UN Secretary-General Guterres a visit to Ukraine after the UN Secretary-General visited the BRICS summit in Kazan.

Robert Fico further said that I have never seen anything like this before, that a country in a state of war does not accept the UN Secretary-General as a representative of the peacekeeping organization that emerged after the end of World War II. Or the Israeli government says that the UN Secretary-General is persona non grata and cannot enter Israel. This is very bad. This is very dangerous, and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico added that this situation is absurd.
