russia presides over the un security council. so it is difficult to imagine anything that crimes the complete bankruptcy of such institutions that are diplomatic and it's james base has more from the un every month, the presidency of the un security council rotates among its 50 members. today, russia is assuming the presidency for the month of april, that's deeply controversial because when russia had the presidency last year was february, the month that they invaded ukraine, there are people calling for russia to be kicked off the security council or kicked out of the united nations, but if you look at the rules and you look at the un charter, those things are not possible. what we do know is that later this month, the russian foreign minister. so gay lab rockers will be here in new york. you'll be sharing a number of meetings, including one in defense of this document, the u. n's founding charter, other diplomat say that is very cynical when it's russia that is currently breaching this charter with its ongoing war. james bays al jazeera of the united

i think it is worth saying, though, that the russians have been quite restrained in the use of the veto on other issues the russians have not used that the so for example, over afghanistan or libya or, or other crises on the agenda, i think they do value the security council as a space where they can do some residual cooperation with western countries. and they don't want to blow that up completely. russians defense minister has promised to boost weapons supplies to troops on the front line. sort of a short ago has been criticized in recent months. the head of the russian wagner mercenary group has accused him of failing to supply sufficient munitions. but anyway, it's an issue of supplying troops. the lethal weapons is currently under constant control by the government. and by the ministry of defense, the volume of supplies of the most needed, i mean nation has been determined,
