Starting April 1, Russia will preside over UN Security Council: Kuleba calls it bad joke
March 31 is the last day that Mozambique will hold the presidency of the UN Security Council. On April 1, Russia will take over the presidency. Ukraine has strongly opposed it
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba expressed his indignation at Russia's presidency on Twitter.
"Russian UN Security Council presidency on April 1 is a bad joke. Russia has usurped its seat; it’s waging a colonial war; its leader is a war criminal wanted by the ICC for kidnapping children. The world can’t be a safe place with Russia at UNSC," he wrote.
The presidency of the UN Security Council changes every month. Each member state takes turns in the presidency. According to Article 24 of the UN Charter, the UN Security Council, as a permanent body, is responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security.
