KYIV, Ukraine, August 17 ------ UN chief Antonio Guterres will meet with the leaders of Ukraine and Turkey this week, officials announced, as Kyiv reported an “unprecedented” cyberattack on its nuclear energy agency’s website.
A deal brokered by the United Nations and Turkey last month has allowed a tentative restart of grain exports from Ukraine after Russia’s invasion blocked essential global supplies. Guterres will hold talks in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv with President Volodymyr Zelensky and Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on August 18. They will discuss “the need for a political solution to this conflict,” UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said. Guterres will then visit the Ukrainian port city of Odessa on August 19 — one of three ports being used in the deal to export grain — before heading to Turkey.
As the diplomatic efforts to end the war continue, Ukraine’s nuclear agency Energoatom reported a major cyberattack on its website, but said its operations had not been disrupted. “The most powerful cyberattack since the start of the Russian invasion occurred against Energoatom’s website,” the agency said on Telegram, adding that it “was attacked from Russian territory”.
The prime minister of former Soviet satellite Estonia said her government had decided to remove all Soviet-era monuments from public spaces in the country. Finland, meanwhile, announced plans to limit Russian tourist visas to 10 percent of current volumes beginning in September, due to rising discontent over Russian tourism as the war rages on.
