UN chief in Ukraine to meet Zelensky

There's a day of diplomacy ahead as António Guterres, the UN secretary general, is meeting Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv later for talks, Qazet.az reports.

Guterres has already travelled to Moscow earlier this week to make an appeal to Vladimir Putin about the war. At the Moscow talks, Guterres made clear the UN considered Russia's actions an invasion and repeated calls for Russia and Ukraine to work together to set up safe humanitarian corridors.

In a tweet yesterday after he landed in Ukraine, Guterres promised to "continue our work to expand humanitarian support and secure the evacuation of civilians from conflict zones".
