ukrainian child 5 month old boy. the parents, a wounded, one of the hundreds of artillery turks for the tory states carries out every day. and at the same time, to russia, presides over the year unsecure to council. shortly. it is difficult to imagine anything that christ complete a bankruptcy of such as the 2 signals are to lancaster. james bass 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 formula lab rockers will be here in new york. you'll be sharing

purposes, it will actually one through the more the world of well moscow have used this veto to ensure that the council have taken no meaningful action over ukraine. 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 un 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. meanwhile, rush of defense minister has promised to boost weapons supplies to troops on the front line. so showing it has been criticized in recent months ahead of the rush of agnes messen regroup, is accused him of failing to supply sufficient,
