Ukraine will officially raise issue of russia’s exclusion from UN Security Council

Ukraine's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, said that on December 26, Ukraine would officially raise the issue of russia's exclusion from the UN Security Council.

He said this on the air of the Ukrainian joint telethon, Interfax-Ukraine reports.

"Tomorrow, we will officially take this position… We have a straightforward question: does russia have the right to remain a permanent member of the UN Security Council and to be in the United Nations at all? We have a convincing and reasoned answer: no and no," said Kuleba on Sunday evening.

The minister is sure that after russia's defeat in the war that broke out, the question of its future ceases to be a taboo for world diplomacy.

"And although this topic is not yet discussed at press conferences and in public statements of the leaders of states and governments, but below the level, people are already asking questions," he added.

"russia has been poisoning the UN for many years; this is no secret to anyone. Just as it poisons all the international organizations in which it is a member.

russia occupies the seat of a permanent member of the UN Security Council without proper legal grounds due to a blatantly fraudulent scheme that took place 31 years ago.

Ukraine is currently preparing for official steps that will prove russia's illegal presence in the UN Security Council and will launch a political process that should lead to its removal from this seat," Kuleba emphasized.

Kuleba also accused the UN of inaction regarding sending a mission to study the strikes of the russian federation with the help of Iranian drones on the civil infrastructure of Ukraine.

Foreign Policy reported that President Joe Biden had been urged to remove russia from the UN Security Council, presenting him with a resolution initiated by two US lawmakers who head an independent government human rights organization. After all, violations of the UN Charter call into question russia's right to permanent membership in the Security Council.
