Ukraine is planning to call for Russia to be removed as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council on Monday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba 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?" he said, speaking late Sunday during a national television marathon.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.
The powerful Security Council consists of 15 members tasked with tackling global crises by enacting sanctions, authorizing military action, and approving changes to the UN charter. Countries have long pleaded for reform of the Security Council, with some criticizing the lack of representation when it comes to permanent seats for African and Latin American countries.
US President Joe Biden in September said he supported an expansion of the Security Council and for it to "become more inclusive"—a rare call for action from Washington, given that it famously bypassed the Council to invade Iraq during George W. Bush's administration.
