Recall, on the eve of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that Russia is “illegitimately” a member of the UN Security Council, and its membership in the UN as a whole is “dubious”. In a statement, the department noted that Ukraine calls on UN member states to deprive the Russian Federation of the status of a permanent member of the UN Security Council and exclude it from the UN as a whole.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry is “in a state of shock,” Slutsky said. The statement calling for Russia to be kicked out of the UN was clearly made up of people who needed a historic educational program. “The letter of the incompetent” filkin “is designed solely for populist effect,” the deputy noted, adding that the rationale and arguments given are “for the backward.”
According to him, it is impossible to exclude Russia from the UN, because “this is laying a mine” under the largest, authoritative and significant international Organization formed after the Second World War, the results of which determined the status of permanent members. of the UN Security Council.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the issue of reforming the UN structure is long overdue. At the same time, he emphasized, it is absolutely impossible to exclude our country from the Security Council of an international organization.
UN chief António Guterres has spoken out against removing Russia from global diplomatic platforms. In order to exclude the Russian Federation from the Security Council, it would be necessary to change the Charter of the World Organization, which lists the permanent members of the Security Council. However, the veto power that Russia has as a permanent member makes such a scenario impossible.
