The UN Secretary-General said he had not seen peace talks in Ukraine anytime soon.

United Nations (UN) Secretary General António Guterres said that today the time will come for peace talks on Ukraine, but he does not see that moment in the near future.

“This war will not last forever. It will be a time for peace talks,” Guterres said at a press conference with Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen.

“I don’t see it in the near future. But I can say one thing. We will never give up,” he added in the comments, translated into German by an official translator.
