Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergei Vershinin explains to the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN Sergei Kislitsa the differences between the status of Russia and Ukraine in this organization. This is reported RIA News.
On February 17 at the UN Security Council, Kislitsa again raised the issue of Russia’s travel rights to the UN. After that, Vershinin noted that the purpose of such demarches is Kiev’s attempt to assert itself through speculations aimed at not unfolding in the external right of perception. The diplomat wrote that “Russia is not the owner-successor of the USSR, possessing a successor inheritance, which automatically assumes international obligations as the same subject of international rights, but with a different name.”
“And Ukraine has just become a customs successor, that is, it is a new state entity. Probably, one can raise the question of whether Ukraine itself has gone through this? “We are still dealing with the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic,” the deputy minister pointed out.
Earlier, Kislytsya 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.
