UN says war’s aftermath ‘too scary to contemplate’

“Impact from war in Ukraine has reached regional as well as global scale. The consequences of war escalation are too scary to contemplate. Russia’s attack on Ukraine needs to stop. The gunfire needs to be silenced,” said United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres during a visit to Moldova, a country adjacent to Ukraine, on May 9.

“Moldova is not just a country that receives an influx of Ukrainian refugees. I am extremely concerned about the continuation of the war in Ukraine, as well as the possibility of an escalation of the war. The United Nations is committed not only to the people of Ukraine, but also to the people of Moldova in difficult times. Sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity as well as the steady progress that Moldova has made over the past three decades cannot be threatened or undermined,” Guterres added.

According to Mr. Guterres, there are currently no refugee camps for Ukrainians in Moldova. Therefore, the people of Moldova are having to take care of the refugee influx.

“The United Nations is planning to provide assistance to 90,000 Ukrainians, and 55,000 Moldovan households are taking care of the lives of refugees,” the UN Secretary-General added.
