Most countries don't support Russia's exclusion from UN Security Council - Estonian MFA
The majority of states don't share Ukraine's approach to Russia's membership in the UN Security Council, so the removal of Russia is not a prospect now
The Undersecretary for Global Affairs of the Estonian Foreign Ministry, Märt Volmer, stated this.
“Estonia is one of the leaders and the most active supporters of Ukraine on topics that relate precisely to the isolation of Russia in various organizations, the removal of Russia from decision-making in the world, and holding it accountable for crimes. This direction is very good and correct. Talks about the UN fall into the same category, but in this case it should be taken into account that, unfortunately, there is not much international support for Ukraine on this issue,” he said.
Therefore, according to the vice-chancellor of the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this issue is currently hopeless, and the focus should be on those aspects of international life in which Russia can really be suppressed and isolated.
“If it actually came to the point where it was put to a vote in the Security Council, Russia would obviously block it. That's obviously one of the reasons why most states now don't think it would be a very realistic course of action."
