Rockets hit Kyiv during the UN Secretary General's visit to the city, in which he criticised his own organisation's Security Council.

Antonio Guterres said the council had failed to prevent or end the war in Ukraine.

This was "a source of great disappointment, frustration and anger," he said. "Let me be very clear: [it] failed to do everything in its power to prevent and end this war," he added.

The 15-member UN Security Council is specifically tasked with ensuring global peace and security.

But it has faced criticism, including from Ukraine's government, for failing to act since the invasion began in February.

Russia is one of five permanent members of the body and it has vetoed more than one resolution on the conflict.

Mr Guterres was speaking on Thursday evening at a joint news conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has previously criticised the Security Council.

"I am here to say to you Mr President, and to the people of Ukraine, we will not give up," he said.

But Mr Guterres also defended his organisation, admitting that while the Security Council had been "paralysed" the UN was taking other actions.

"The UN is the 1,400 staff members in Ukraine who are working to provide assistance, food, cash [and] other forms of support," he told the BBC.

The UN's message to the people of Ukraine is clear; they will not give up until Ukrainians are wiped off. God forbid that. Now, Zelensky needs to wake up and stop this war. He is just like any of the leaders in Africa. A typical European leader should have stepped down before end of February. But this is end of April. Too bad for Ukraine.

Let the ranting begins…..

Russia no dey bluff, I’m sure those western leaders needs no reminder. Nah una get beautiful skyscrapers wey una wan protect…. Nah all of una go perish, the question be say shey una ready to die….

Lol exactly, Russia don't have much to lose, infact Russians are very much prepare for a nuclear war,they are Dusting Thier bunkers as we speak,with Their tv presenters even saying if they die during a nuke attack they're going to heaven.
It is the west that have Thier fancy skyscrapers and businesses to protect, Russians are thought war tactics before they learn how to work.
The whole of Europe is not up to half of Russia,so how many places will they bomb to have a long lasting effect
