A top Ukrainian official on Saturday criticised the 'symbolic blow' of Russia assuming the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council.
On Saturday Russia took over the presidency of the UN's top security body, which rotates every month. The last time Moscow held the post was in February 2022, when its troops launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The Kremlin said on Friday it planned to "exercise all its rights" in the role.
The United States on Thursday urged Russia to "conduct itself professionally" when it assumes the role, saying there was no means to block Moscow from the post.
Ukrainian official Yermak also hit out at Iran, who Kyiv and its allies accuse of supplying Russia with arms, including hundreds of assault drones which have menaced Ukrainian infrastructure facilities. Tehran denies supplying Russia with weapons.
"It is very telling that on the holiday of one terror state – Iran – another terror state – Russia – begins to preside over the UN Security Council," Yermak wrote, referring to Iran's Islamic Republic Day holiday.

Given the HUGE DECLINE of Western stature around the world, thanks to their war against Russia, I expect a new ‘United Nations’ like entity to form, composed of the 85% or so of the world that never ‘sanctioned’ Russia.
Neoconneds are saddened.
russia should be kicked off of the UN Security Council
I agree. This will hasten the UN's demise and make it easier for Trump to kick it to the curb in 2025.
Honor requires the US to Resign from the Security Council and withdraw it’s representative, and if there are objections Honor requires the US to Resign from the United Nations and withdraw it’s representatives.
Why? They have Iran on the human rights committee still? Lol. The UN is a joke no one should pay attention to them.
Iran should be kicked off of the human rights committee.
I’m glad you recognize the nature of Iran’s regime
It is a rotating thing. Just the way it is Ukraine. Deal with it. I am sure the Russians hate it when we sit at the helm. They deal with it instead of whining.

I also expect NATO to be dismembered. US hegemony is declining quickly. The new Russia/ China/ India/ Brics (and more ) alliance has all the power in sheer numbers alone. The world is simply tired of the US’s wars and decayed morality.

The US has no honor under this administration, years of promoting and pushing its filthy agenda on the world has consequences.
141 countries out of 192 condemned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
Only 6 voted not to condemn Russia : Russia itself and Belarus, north Korea, cuba, Venezuela, Syria
“141 countries out of 192 condemned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.”
Easy to condemn, but where it counts, VERY FEW to be seen putting some muscle behind their vote.
Communists, hippies and a few “Jane Fonda - VietKong - Freepers” are happy.
Zbots, Sorosters, and tranny neocons hardest hit.
Russia, China, Cuba, Belarus, Venezuela, Brazil, the international Communists, the usual suspects... and 5% of hippie-freepers are happy. :)
Bushbots and forever war drones hardest hit.
The neocon Re-Animator weighs in.
Sprang back to life in September 2022 to go ALL IN for Ukraine "forever war"...
