Dmytro Dovhopolyi, candidate of historical sciences, Americanist, and former UN employee, stated this on Espreso TV."After Donald Trump became president, António Guterres began a fight for his own survival at the UN. When he became the UN Secretary-General, he faced absolute negativism from the American presidential administration. In this situation, Kofi Annan would have packed up and gone to Washington. There, he would have sat down with senators, lit up his famous cigar, and made a deal. Guterres is about socialism, a misunderstanding of issues of war and peace. He was a very weak prime minister of Portugal, and also not well-respected in global diplomatic circles. However, he has very strong communication skills and a good understanding of social issues. He was and remains a little to the left of the Socialist party. If you recall history, Guterres was the very leader of Portugal, of the Portuguese revolution, who came up with the red carnation as a symbol of the revolution. In fact, he was a Komsomol leader and has remained so," explained Dovhopolyi.The diplomat also said that Guterres is very well-versed in the military operations in Ukraine, yet does nothing to stop the war. He is very afraid of the Russians."Guterres regularly demands briefings with maps for himself. He doesn't govern by looking at a globe and is well-aware of the front line in Ukraine. However, he does nothing. Guterres is afraid of the Russians, and now also of the Americans. There are now rumors that he will run in the presidential election in Portugal and leave his post one year early. If he leaves, it will be a scandal. If he stays after what Trump said in his speech, it will be difficult for him to lead the UN," he added.On September 23, U.S. President Donald Trump stated during his speech at the UN General Assembly that he had stopped 7 wars in 7 months, something no one else had managed to do, and therefore deserved the Nobel Peace Prize.
