Guteresre has called on Russia to cooperate with the ICC, but neither Russia nor Ukraine has acceded to the agreements governing the ICC.
During his visit, Guteresre emphasized that war in itself was the most terrible crime.

He is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday. One of the topics of discussion will be the possible participation of the UN in the effort to achieve the evacuation of civilians from the Russian city ravaged Mariupol.
