“We stated at the official level our detailed and well-argued position on why Russia’s presence in the UN Security Council and in the organization, in general, is illegitimate. We provided detailed evidence of how, 31 years ago, the Russian delegation, in fact, simply occupied the seat of the USSR in the UN Security Council – a state that ceased to exist at that time – without any statutory grounds for this,” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, commenting on the process initiated by Ukraine aimed at excluding Russia from the UN Security Council and the Organization in general.

Dmytro Kuleba stated that the “rape of the UN Charter” took place on the basis of a simple change of plates from “USSR” to “Russian Federation”, and emphasized that this was a gross violation of paragraph 2 of Article 4 of the UN Charter, which clearly defines the only legitimate procedure for acquiring membership in the Organization.
“For more than three decades, they simply turned a blind eye to this shameful fact. But Ukraine will not remain silent. Today we started the fight to deprive Russia of the status of a permanent member of the UN Security Council. This fight will not be easy. It will be opposed, and not only by Russia. But we will not put up with lies and falsification. Tasks are difficult, but nothing is impossible,” said the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
