The UN responded to reports that Zelensky declined a meeting with Guterres due to his visit to Russia.

The office of UN Secretary-General António Guterres has not confirmed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declined Guterres' visit to Ukraine. This was reported by "Suspilne" on October 25.
В ООН прокомментировали информацию о том, что Зеленский не встретился с Гутерришем из-за его поездки в Россию.

It has been reported by sources from AFP and "Ukrainian Truth" that Zelensky declined Guterres' visit to Kyiv. The reason for the refusal was said to be the UN Secretary-General's trip to the aggressor country, Russia, for the BRICS summit.

Journalists from the broadcaster reached out to the UN office to verify this information, and the Deputy Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, Farhan Haq, did not confirm such reports.

"We are trying to arrange a visit at a mutually convenient time. They [Zelensky and Guterres] discussed the visit during their meeting in September," he stated.
