The Secretary-General of the United Nations has stated that any peace plan for the war in Ukraine must fully respect the UN Charter and the country's territorial integrity. This reaffirms the organization's core principles, which prohibit the use of force against a nation's borders and sovereignty. António Guterres commented on a reported 28-point peace proposal allegedly backed by the United States. He clarified that the UN has not received this plan through any formal channels. The UN chief emphasized that for any proposal to be considered, it must align with the founding principles of the UN and its existing resolutions on the matter. This official position comes as various countries discuss potential paths to end the conflict.
