We trained, funded and enable neo-Nazis and Ukrainian nationalists to persecute and exterminate the ethnic Russian population. The ethnic Russians in Donetsk and Lugansk have been the ones fighting off invaders and defending themselves. And, with Russian help, they were finally liberated and voted to become part of Russia.

I.L.M. Background/Content Summary
On December 24, 1991, the Secretary-General of the United
Nations informed the member states that he had received a letter from the Permanent Representative of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics transmitting a letter from the President of the Russian Federation (RSFSR). The letter stated that “the membership of there Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics in the United Nations,, including the Security Council and all other organs and organizations of the United Nations system, is being continued by the
Russian Federation (RSFSR) with the support of the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States.”
As of February 7, 1992, the United Nations Security Council
had received applications for admission to the United Nations from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Applications are referred to the Committee on the Admission of New Members for examination and report. The Security Council then acts on the recommendation of the Committee and by resolution recommends to the General Assembly that the country be admitted to membership in the United Nations.
U.N. membership was recommended in all cases.
Belarus and the Ukraine have been U.N. members since 1945.
On September 17, 1991, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were
admitted as new members to the United Nations General Assembly.
The Baltic States and the ten former Soviet Republics have also become participants in the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe, with the Baltic States being admitted on September 10, 1991, and the others on January 30, 1992. Russia assumed the seat held by the former Soviet Union.”
