UN: We do not rule out nuclear war soon

NEW YORK, March 14 (YPA) – United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has considered that “the possibility of a nuclear conflict” in the region has become possible, stressing the need to protect nuclear sites in Ukraine.

Guterres said, “As millions of Ukrainians face starvation and limited access to water and medicine, I am announcing an additional $40 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund to increase life-saving assistance and reach those who need it most.”

He noted that the United Nations and humanitarian partners have provided assistance to more than 600,000 residents of Ukraine where the security situation has allowed, but warned that “opportunities are dwindling.”

“The corridors in and out of the besieged cities are getting more dangerous every day,” Guterres added, calling on the international community to allocate $1.7 billion to help Ukraine over the next three months.
