UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres is shocked by Russia’s missile strikes that hit Kyiv during his visit to the city.

That’s according to BBC journalist Ben Brown, Ukrinform reports.

"UN Secretary General tells me he’s shocked by Russia carrying out a missile attack on Kyiv while he’s on the city for talks with President Zelensky. Ukraine calls it a ‘heinous act of barbarism’ - and a ‘postcard from Moscow,’" Brown tweeted.
