On the 28th local time, United Nations Secretary-General Guterres came to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and held a meeting with Zelenskiy. At a press conference held after the meeting, Guterres called for an early end to the conflict and said the United Nations would expand its assistance to Ukraine.
However, just an hour after the press conference, there was a sudden explosion in Kiev's Shevchenkovsky district, at least two buildings were on fire, and smoke billowed over Kiev. Kiev blamed the Russian military for doing it, but the Russian side has not yet responded. While Guterres' team is currently unharmed, about 10 people were still injured in the blast, apparently escalating tensions in Ukraine after Guterres' arrival.
In fact, when Guterres came to Kiev that day and inspected the streets, he changed the norm and aimed his finger at "himself". He said it was unacceptable to have wars in the 21st century and accused the UN Security Council of failing to stop the conflict, a complete failure, and it was strange that the UN Secretary-General "shelled" the UN.
This cannot help but remind people that a few days ago, with the support of the United States and other Western countries, the UNITED Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution restricting the veto power of the five permanent members of the Security Council, which is equivalent to a disguised restriction on the power of the five permanent committees.
When the United States took the lead in limiting the power of the five permanent powers, some Russian officials pointed out that the United States wanted to abandon the United Nations, the most important multilateral tool, and start looking for a substitute for the United Nations in order to grasp the dominance of the world order. Judging from the fact that even the Secretary-General of the United Nations is not willing to "shell" the Security Council, it seems that the Security Council is already anachronistic platform. It seems that Guterres has indeed maintained a striking consistency with the position of the United States and other Western countries on the issue of "reform".
Therefore, many Russian officials said that Guterres came to Ukraine on the surface to call for peace, but in fact it was to convey the meaning of the West and has a more important purpose. On the 28th, Russian diplomat and lecturer at the State Research Higher University of Economics Zakharov said in an interview that Western countries are trying to take advantage of Guterres's visit to achieve the purpose of adding trouble to Russian military operations.
A few days earlier, Guterres had met with Putin in Moscow, who had agreed in principle to the involvement of the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross in the evacuation of civilians at the Azov steel plant in Mariupol. Soon, the United Nations actively followed up, drawing "professionals" from all over the world to prepare for the coordination of civilian evacuations and communicating with Russia and Ukraine on specific evacuation plans.
Apparently, Guterres's arrival had helped Zelenskiy a lot. Zelenskiy said that due to Guterres's "mediation", the Ukrainian side is ready to negotiate on the trapped personnel of the Azov steel plant, and the Ukrainian side will contribute to this in all possible ways.
In order to save the remnants of the steel plant, Zelenskiy did not hesitate to threaten to terminate the negotiations, and even expressed his willingness to exchange all Russian prisoners for it. Obviously, this group of Ukrainian troops trapped under the steel factory has "extraordinary" value, which is obviously different from the treatment of ordinary soldiers. Since Zelenskiy has done this job, it is no wonder that others suspect that there are "big fish" in the steel plant, and according to Russian officials, this big fish from NATO has been "hammered".
On the 28th, Donetsk military spokesman Basulin said that there may be a retired general of the Canadian army in the Azov steel plant, and the current operations of the United Nations and the Ukrainian side are aimed at rescuing him.
The "evacuated civilians" team set up by the United Nations is aimed at rescuing active military personnel of NATO countries trapped underground. Of course, this is only the opinion of the officers personally, and the rescue organized by the United Nations has not yet begun, and it is not possible to jump to conclusions. But since Guterres has come, it is not far from the final answer, is there a big fish? Who the hell is the big fish? Let's wait and see.
