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.

If we were in person I’d offer my hankie to wipe the spittle off your mouth. Too much anger and hostility.
Look at our posts, you are projecting.
If you paid attention, you would know that the world declared Vladimer Putin to be a war criminal who is committing crimes against humanity.
By extension, that means that those who support the war criminal are guilty of the crimes against humanity by association.
Even the communist Xi will not fully support the war criminal.
“If you paid attention, you would know that the world declared Vladimer Putin to be a war criminal who is committing crimes against humanity.”
LIE.
As I recall, 130 nations signed the charges
“As I recall, 130 nations signed the charges”
Is the US part of the ICC? If not, why not?
That question is irrelevant.
“That question is irrelevant.”
Why? If the US won’t sign on to this body, why should ANY AMERICAN give it any legitimacy? So I don’t.
But I could see why others here would consider it legit.
See there you go.
Since you live your life looking through a paper towel tube, you can’t see the magnitude of the reality. There is more to the world than the USA and that world you can’t see but probably don’t understand has made an anti Russian decision that is independent of the USA.
The American decision not to recognize the ICC is irrelevant
“The American decision not to recognize the ICC is irrelevant”
You still haven’t told us why we should listen to a court that OUR OWN GOVERNMENT (or at least my own government), both Republicans and DEMOCRATS refuse to sign up to.
Will you listen to the Moscow Justice Department if North Korea signs up to it? After all, it would have ‘International Recognition’.
Regardless, I expect the BRICS to soon be setting up their own justice system, and prosecuting the many war criminals in the Western governments, should they step foot in the ‘wrong country’.
Who said anything about what we should listen to?
It is the world that made the decision rather you like or agree to it or not.
“It is the world that made the decision rather you like or agree to it or not.”
Well, OBVIOUSLY “the world” didn’t make that decision because some of the major players are not part of it, including the country that I LIVE IN.
Why does that confuse you?
Like I said.......you are irrelevant, don’t really matter.
“Like I said.......you are irrelevant, don’t really matter.”
Like I said, you get off on TROLLING here, and I’m not the only person saying that.
So enjoy your day, I’ll get back to discussions with ADULTS here.
