United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday sounded the alarm over Russia raising the alert level for its nuclear forces after invading Ukraine, describing it as a “bone-chilling development.”
Guterres said “the prospect of nuclear conflict, once unthinkable, is now back within the realm of possibility,” and repeated his call for an immediate cessation of hostilities.
He also said the UN was going to allocate a further $40 million from its Central Emergency Response fund to ramp up humanitarian assistance for Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Russian representative Vasily Nebenzya denied that American journalist and filmmaker Brent Renaud was killed by Russian forces saying that the town of Irpin is completely controlled by Ukrainian forces.
