At a meeting of the UN Security Council, United Nations Secretary- General Antonio Guterres demanded a halt to “nuclear saber-rattling”, adding that the world is “at a maximum moment of danger” and all countries with nuclear weapons must make a commitment to “no-first use”, the BTA reports. “The commitment to dialogue and reason that led to the recent deal restarting grain and fertilizer shipments from Ukraine and Russia must be applied to the critical situation at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant at Zaporizhizhia in Southeastern Ukraine, where continued shelling and fighting in the area has raised fears of a nuclear catastrophe”, said Antonio Guterres. The council meeting was organized by China which holds the Presidency this month. “Humanity’s future is in our hands today”, Antonio Guterres added and urged all countries to “recommit to a world free of nuclear weapons and to spare no effort to come to the negotiating table to ease tensions and end the nuclear arms race, once and for all.”
