President Muhammadu Buhari has urged for increased attention to the humanitarian situation in Ukraine’s conflict-affected areas.
During an Iftar meal with members of the Diplomatic Corps, Buhari cautioned that if no urgent solution is found, the violence will worsen.
“The conflict has gone on for far too long, cost far too much, and harmed far too many people, far beyond the immediate theaters,” Buhari remarked.

Buhari stated that the war is causing worldwide harm, stating that the rest of the world is feeling the effects of the fight “and this will undoubtedly become worse, not least in the area of food security,” if a quick solution is not found.
Buhari welcomed the recent initiative of UN Secretary-General, Antonio Gutteres, of visiting Moscow and Kyiv, commending his efforts in search of a ceasefire, as a prelude to other enduring solutions.
‘‘The United Nations must continue to actively lead the way for engagements that could ultimately unlock peace through diplomacy,’’ he said.
Buhari called on Muslim faithful to use the solemn and rewarding month of Ramadan to prayers for de-escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and for the return of peace to the world.
