Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on the United Nations to deprive the Russian Federation of its powers in the UN General Assembly and the UN Security Council, Ukrinform informs.
"I urge you to deprive the delegation of the terrorist state of its powers in the UN General Assembly, and it is possible. Russia has no right to stay in the UN Security Council. And this path is not too thorny, as it may seem to some if you show consistency and proper political will. The UN has enough powers to bring the terrorist state to justice." Zelenskyy said at the UN Security Council meeting in New York.
"Although Russia violates the fundamental principles of the UN and the international legal order, it has not yet been held accountable precisely at the global level. It still remains in the UN structures and even enjoys the privileges of its chair as a permanent member of the UN Security Council," Zelenskyy stressed.
