We can talk a lot about what Guterres did not do as UN Secretary General. Guterres ignored numerous facts of violations of the rules of war, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Ukraine and Israel. The Red Cross, thanks to his inaction, actually works for terrorists. The UN turns a blind eye to violations of its own resolutions on North Korea and Iran, which allows Russia to continue the war. In addition to supplying weapons and ammunition that the Russians use to kill Ukrainians and seize territory, North Korea has begun sending its soldiers, effectively becoming a party to the war against Ukraine. Guterres doesn’t care.
The fact remains that Guterres has turned the UN into an empty shell. The organization, which was supposed to serve as a bulwark of international law and justice, in fact supports bloody regimes waging wars of conquest. What is this but aiding and abetting criminals? Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the UN Secretary General refused the President of Ukraine, a country suffering from the unjust aggression of a nuclear power, to attend the Global Peace Summit, but accepted an invitation from the aggressor and attended the BRICS summit.
The UN Secretary General came to Kazan to shake hands with the criminal, whom in July 2024 he himself found guilty of mass murder and torture in Olenivka. To shake hands with a criminal who has a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for the abduction of children from the occupied territories of Ukraine. What else can Guterres do to show the world what his UN governance has led to? Let me remind you that the League of Nations, which is traditionally accused of weakness and inaction, was not afraid to exclude from its membership the USSR and Germany – the two largest countries, which at that time ruled half of the world and legitimately occupied their seats in the organization. At the same time, Guterres completely ignores the fact of Russia’s illegal occupation of the USSR’s seat in the UN.
All of the UN Secretary General’s criminal inaction is actually a direct support of Russia and Putin in the war against Ukraine. Perhaps his real task is to help Putin destroy hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian lives and turn millions of people into refugees. Maybe for such “proof of merit” Guterres will receive additional rewards from the Kremlin. Anything is possible. After all, speaking about these outrageous facts, we unwittingly praise the UN Secretary General, confirming his “merits” to the master.
Other facts about Guterres’ “work” as UN chief:
Guterres refused to directly condemn the atrocities of the Syrian regime and its allies such as Russia and Iran, indulging in their actions during the conflict. He failed to act in the face of attacks on civilians and the use of chemical weapons, further entrenching the Assad regime and continuing the suffering of millions of Syrians.
In Afghanistan, Guterres also failed to act, refusing to actively intervene in the crisis after the Taliban came to power, leading to a deterioration in the human rights situation, especially for women and minorities. This led to the execution of thousands of civilians and the triumph of Sharia law.
In the Israeli-Palestinian war, Guterres indulged terrorist organizations such as Hamas until 2023, refusing to strongly condemn their actions. He continued to deliver “humanitarian aid” to regions where it fell into the hands of terrorists. Under Guterres’ leadership, UNRWA became a full-fledged collaborator with terrorists, training soldiers from an early age, hosting arms depots, etc.
After Hamas’ brutal October 7 attack on Israel, which killed more than 1,400 people and took 220 citizens hostage, Guterres continued his policy of supporting Hamas. The UN Secretary General regularly condemns Israel’s actions. UNRWA has begun to openly participate in terrorist attacks, and the UN helps Hamas and Hezbollah murderers hide in bunkers erected beneath UN facilities. Israel has rightly accused Guterres of collaborating with terrorists and turning a blind eye to the crimes of Iran and its satellites. Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz declared Guterres persona non grata, barring him from entering the country. In response to the criticism, Guterres said that the Hamas attack “did not arise from nothing,” justifying the terrorists’ actions.
Returning to Ukraine, the UN has done everything it can to make Putin as comfortable as possible to wage the biggest war in Europe since World War II.
Guterres came to Ukraine and blackmailed us with the success of the grain deal in exchange for the launch of the ammonia pipeline. When we refused, Russia began shelling ports and grain ships. The UN Secretary General immediately wrote a letter to Lavrov proposing a grain deal. The gist of the letter:
Proposal 1. Guterres proposes to lift the financial sanctions imposed by the EU against Russian Agricultural Bank (RSHB), which is disconnected from SWIFT (in which, by the way, Guterres has an account). In particular, to circumvent the sanctions, the UN Secretary General proposes to use a specially founded subsidiary of the Russian bank called “RSHB Capital S.A.” and connect it to the SWIFT system. In simple words: the UN chief wants to create a fake bank that will circumvent EU and US sanctions against Russian banks.
Proposal 2. Guterres proposes to insure Russian ships that will export grain against Ukrainian attacks. Thus immediately putting Ukraine in the position of aggressor. “A co-financing insurance company with the UN for Russian food and fertilizer exports could be in operation with Lloyd’s within 4-6 weeks,” the letter says. The UN chief proposes not only “cargo insurance for Russian food and fertilizer exports” but also “hull and P&I” insurance. “Hull insurance” is insurance for ships used for transportation, and “P&I” is comprehensive third-party liability insurance.
Proposal 3. Unlocking the accounts of Russian fertilizer producers in Europe. Unblocking Russian money that goes to kill Ukrainians. The letter notes that the UN is “already working” on this issue.
And finally, Proposition 4. “Ensure efficient access of Russian food and fertilizer ships to EU ports through fast port permits.” Namely, “The United Nations stands ready to explore further options to facilitate access of Russian vessels to EU ports related to agricultural trade, including simplified procedures for issuing relevant permits, including before leaving Russian ports.”
The original news can be found at the following request: “Bild: The UN Secretary General offered Sergei Lavrov a four-point agreement for Russia to return to the ‘grain agreement.’”
We should not forget that Guterres hides the number of civilian deaths in Ukraine. He uses the phrases “killed on Russian-controlled territory” and “killed on Ukrainian-controlled territory”, shifting responsibility to both sides.
Guterres also facilitates Russia’s illegal occupation of the USSR’s seat at the UN, which allows Russia to block the Security Council and prevents Ukraine from imposing adequate sanctions, receiving frozen funds and declaring Russia’s international criminals wanted. To solve the problem with Russia at the UN, he could have simply given police powers and demanded documents from the Russian delegation at the entrance to the UN building, preventing them from entering. Thereby shifting the burden of proving the right to be in the UN to Russia. And since there are no such documents, Russia would simply not be able to enter the UN building (prior to its accession, with a new government, no wars of aggression, and with internationally recognized borders). However, Guterres obviously will never bite the hand that feeds him.
