This is a symbol of peace. Our storks. We, Antonio, really need peace, Lukashenko noted.
Guterres, in turn, said that yesterday he experienced the most difficult hours of his life as UN Secretary General.
According to him, yesterday a drone hit a UN mission vehicle, killing the driver, and at the organization's office in Lebanon a drone hit the building so close that it smashed the windows.
In Northern Gaza, Guterres continued, the situation is so dire that the UN has been forced to suspend its vaccination programme.
