UN Secretary-General António Guterres called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop the war against Ukraine.
"Today I can only say one thing from my heart: President Putin, stop your troops from attacking Ukraine. Give peace a chance. Too many people have already died," he said during a UN Security Council meeting.
Tonight, I have only one thing to say, from the bottom of my heart:

President Putin, stop your troops from attacking Ukraine.
Give peace a chance.

Later on Twitter, he added that he should change his statement.
"President Putin, in the name of humanity, return your troops to Russia. This conflict must end now," he wrote.
Under the present circumstances, I must change my appeal:

President Putin, in the name of humanity, bring your troops back to Russia.
This conflict must stop now.
