KYIV, 26 December 2022, (TON): Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said “Ukraine is planning to call for Russia to be removed as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.”

He said “tomorrow we will officially express our position. We have a very simple 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, it does not.”

Kuleba said “the question of Russia’s veto-wielding permanent seat in the UN Security Council also held by the United States, Britain, France and China was already being discussed around diplomacy circles.”
