🇺🇳UN chief Antonio Guterres: ‘I hope the ICC can investigate Izium’. The war in Ukraine and the prospect of further military escalation topped the list of issues concerning the UN chief during an interview with France 24 and Radio France Internationale (RFI) ahead of Tuesday's UN General Assembly. “The prospects for a peace negotiation are very distant,” he said. Guterres also added that he hoped the International Criminal Court (ICC) would be able to investigate the alleged massacre in the eastern Ukrainian city of Izium.
