UN chief suggests Ukraine and Russia lay down arms for Easter
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUN Secretary-General António Guterres is calling for a four-day “humanitarian pause” in fighting in Ukraine, starting Thursday to coincide with Orthodox Christians’ Holy Week observances.
Guterres floats the proposal at UN headquarters, saying the ceasefire would allow for evacuating civilians from “areas of current or expected confrontation” and getting humanitarian aid into areas such as Mariupol, Donetsk, Luhansk and Kherson.
“The four-day Easter period should be a moment to unite around saving lives and furthering dialogue to end the suffering in Ukraine,” the UN chief says.
