The UN appreciated the words of Ukraine about Russia’s membership in the Security Council Russian news EN
The official representative of the UN Secretary General, Stephane Dujarric, appreciated the words of Ukraine’s permanent representative to the organization, Sergei Kislytsya, who questioned Russia’s right to membership in the Security Council. Writes about it RIA News.
“Everything is clearly visible who sits in the Security Council. This is a fact,” Dujarric said at a briefing.
He also pointed out that all these issues relate to UN member countries. “But we are not going to interfere in them,” Dujarric.
Earlier, Ukraine’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Serhiy Kislitsa, doubted that Russia could document its rights to permanent membership in the Security Council. According to him, after the export of the USSR, Russia, as a successor, entered the UN, without going through the procedure for getting into the world organization.
On February 1, it was reported that the verbal skirmish that flared up between the Permanent Representatives of Russia and the United States to the UN, Vasily Nebenzei and Lind Thomas-Greenfield, as part of the Organization’s Security Council, became the sharpest in recent years. A sharp check from Nebenzi was caused by the remark of the American envoy that Russia, incompatible with any historical grounds, is trying to present Ukraine and the West as aggressors and thus fabricate a pretext for invading a neighboring country.
