Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky begs UN Security Council to kick Russia to the curb
A frustrated President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine on Tuesday offered a blistering criticism of the United Nations Security Council for its inaction on alleged “terrible war crimes” committed by Russia, calling for the body to revoke the nation’s seat or else “dissolve” itself.
He expressed concerns that, given Russia is one of the council’s five permanent member nations with veto power, it could “block decisions” over its own invasion. “Where is the security that the Security Council was supposed to guarantee?” asked Zelensky, appearing before the council via video link.
