UN chief Antonio Guterres was traveling to Ukraine Tuesday to meet in Kyiv with President Volodymyr Zelensky, in his third trip since Russia's full-scale invasion, his spokesman said.
"The Secretary-General has just arrived in Poland on his way to Ukraine," Stephane Dujarric said in a statement.
Guterres was due to arrive in Kyiv later Tuesday before meeting with Zelensky Wednesday morning "to discuss the continuation of the Black Sea Grain Initiative (grain export scheme) in all its aspects, as well as other pertinent issues," the spokesman said.
Guterres is due to depart Ukraine on Wednesday, and be back at United Nations headquarters in New York the following day.
No further details were given on the visit, the UN chief's third after trips to Ukraine in April and August last year in the wake of Russia's invasion on February 24, 2022.
At a UN Security Council meeting held on the anniversary of the start of the war, Guterres slammed the invasion is a "blatant violation" of the UN Charter and international law.
