Moscow Times \u2013 May 9, 2023<\/strong><\/h1>\n

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said peace negotiations to end the conflict in Ukraine were “not possible at this moment,” in an interview published by Spanish daily El Pais on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

His statement came as the leaders of Russia and Ukraine both called for victory during events commemorating the end of World War II.<\/p>\n

“It is clear that the [two] parties are completely absorbed in this war” and “are convinced that they can win,” the UN chief was quoted as saying by the newspaper.<\/p>\n

Guterres said he hoped it was possible “in the future” to bring Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday at Moscow’s Red Square Victory Day parade that the world was at a “turning point” and claimed a “war” had been unleashed against Russia.<\/p>\n

The day before, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed that Russian forces would be vanquished “just as Nazism was defeated.”<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Guterres received the Carlos V European Award, given to individuals and organizations that have contributed to the enhancement of Europe’s cultural and historical values or to EU integration.<\/p>\n

“Universal values, principles and ideas which unite us as the human family… have not been under so much threat since the creation of the United Nations,” Guterres said.<\/p>\n

“That’s why we have to raise our voice and reaffirm our values. And above all, we need peace,” he added.<\/p>\n
