Russian presidency of the UN Security Council: “a slap in the face”

MISE À DAY

Russia's presidency of the UN Security Council, starting on Saturday and for a period of one month, is “a slap in the face of the international community”, denounced the Ukrainian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kouleba. 

“The Russian presidency of the United Nations Security Council is a slap in the face of the international community,” he lambasted, calling “ current members” of the UN executive body “to thwart any Russian attempt to abuse its presidency”.
