table, 50 members of the security council. there is no, the town procedural matters. they would lose that procedural vote. so i think the meeting now with the french president, boston declared that the review is going to get under way and we're going to hear the 50 members of the security council. we're also going to hear from the political chief of the united nations, raised me to carlo and she's expected, i think, to reaffirm the points that made by the un secretary general when he last spoke to the security council last thursday, meeting at foreign minister level. that the un certainly doesn't recognize these referenda and certainly going to hear from some of the western countries who say they are sham referenda that are taking place right now. in easton, ukraine. we're going to hear from all of the members of the security council, one to watch, i think will be linda thomas greenfield. the us ambassador, because we have in the us is going to introduce a resolution condemning these ref. and in the coming days, we know what's

have, and about the expansion of the security council, and because the security council and theation of the united nations arose after of the second world war and, accordingly, reflected the growth of international forces in the immediate post-war period, and it is certainly the case that today the question arises about the need for the entire structure to participate in other important participants in international relations until recently about the reality of the reform of the security council did not have time to speak, but what do i hope for, the defeat of russia, the defeat of the aggressor, the defeat of the aggressor, who is a permanent member of the un security council and has nuclear weapons , unjust and bloody wars against ukraine, against ukraine and the world system, will lead to a weakening of the international role of russia and will open a historic, in my opinion, historical window of opportunity to take a number of steps to reform the security council, mr. danylo, that is, as of today, legal steps actually do not exist, they cannot gather even if all the members

with the right of veto and we turn to the history of how russia entered the security councilf the united nations as the legal successor of the soviet union in 1991 yeltsin's letter and did not necessarily go through the procedure for joining the un, unlike russia from ukraine and belarus, which were the founders of this organization, is there any point now in insisting on the ukrainian side that russia has an illegitimate right to occupy a place in this organization? well, in the end -finally ask the question about russia 's participation in the un security council and the legal one, they use it quite often and try to block all questions that concern our interests, the un and mr. sergey , here are two questions. one of which has now been asked work to put russia in its place and expel it for the sake of security, and the second question is about the recognition of russia as a state that finances charisma, or even more daringly, to say a tarist state. demonstrated some exceptional properties, i will explain what is behind the words exceptional properties and peculiarities of t

so what is the point of today's security council meeting? well, at the very least, m a, russia had to sit there and take what everybody else was saying in the un security council. and that did include some criticism from china. your china doesn't actively criticize, but when you have tie needs a foreign minister sitting there and calling on all states to respect international borders. but also calling for threats to be heard. that is china really navigate in a delicate balance to still be perceived as not going against rasa, but really letting it show that patience is wearing thin in bathing as well at with this at ward, that is causing so many people so much also economically. and let's just listen to you as secretary state antony, blinkin, and russia's foreign minister. love rav one after the other. a tell, a very different takes on what is happening right now. in europe, the president putin picked this week, as most of the world gathers with united nations to add fuel to the fire that he started, shows his utter contempt for the un charte

, called on the initiative of ukraine, the answer to the 1038th meeting of the security council begins. temporary agenda for this meeting: support for peace and security of ukraine, and now i would like to give the floor to his excellency mr. volodymyr zelenskyi , the president of ukraine. members of the un security council who respect and fulfill the un charter, dear representatives of the states and leaders who are listening to me now , the un security council is an institution that works for well-known and defined rules according to the regulations of which even the representatives of russia are still following, they have not yet used weapons instead of words in this hall and have not yet knocked out chairs from their neighbors for security advice, but probably no one will be surprised if this zaora without the oun will be transformed by representatives russia in the zone of violence of the un charter russia in life considers any rules of this world russia is already breaking, so it is only a matter of time when it will destroy this last international institution that can sti

the un security council in new york, the u. s. as its allies will press for tougher action against russia to bring you live coverage as the session gets underway. and to russia and ukraine, trade, prisoners, and the biggest swap since the war began. moscow releases about $200.00 ukrainians, and many of them heroes of the siege of money off, off, and keep gibs at $55.00 russians, including a prominent allied vladimir ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. western allies are expected to increase their criticism of russia. the un security council in new york this afternoon. the u. s. will push to further isolate the kremlin of a vladimir putin escalation of the war. the russian leader has issued veiled threats to use nuclear weapons and mobilized hundreds of thousands of extra reservists. well, this is the seen inside the security council at the moment. washington will make the case for tougher condemnation of russia and delegates will also address allegations of war crimes. russia holds a permit seat on the security council and ca

how is a powerful case to be a permanent member of the security council? the council must adapt to the evolving global conditions not only to fulfill its objectives of maintaining international security, but also to remain relevant. meanwhile, washington is backing drastic reforms of the un security council. the white house has long stood in favor of germany and japan becoming permanent member states. thus, despite the 2 being blamed for the outbreak of the 2nd world war, the former director general of the un office and geneva says washington has departed from its original interest by inviting its military allies into the security council. this is an attempt to expand the security council with the help of their military allies. that's what it is. i can even say who they want to push into the united nations security council. these are washington's allies, germany and japan. the states that were initially recognized in the un charter as enemy states, but today the united states of america is abandoning its former intentions. this comes as a u. s. ambassador t

the implementation of the security council statute.t is not observed in this part because the security council did not make any decision. what is even more even more rude is that the general assembly did not make any decision at all , and in the list of issues that are accepted by default this problem does not exist because the membership of the un, and even more so in the security council, and the acquisition is very clearly spelled out from such organizations of the manufacturer, this is the first and second strengthening of this position, strengthening of this position and such a path to it the second issue is the recognition of russia as a country that finances terrorism or a country or state of tourists , because it is related to the possibility of a court making decisions on the legality of these or other behaviors of the authorities of the russian delegation to the un security council, which can be interpreted as responsibility for what i i say as non-fulfillment of the charter of the united nations, moreover, it can be interpre

today in the security council chamber. now, immediately russia spoke up at the beginning of the meeting, making clear that they objected to the fact that vladimir zalinski, the ukrainian president, was given a platform to speak via video link to the un security council meeting. they said clearly that this was simply turning the un security council chamber into a place to put on political shows to serve a geopolitical agenda. it did not fit with the rules of the un. russia made clear their objections or then we heard from rosemary, decarlo, the under secretary we heard from zalinski who then addressed the video link. and then when members of the security council spoke, it was very clear that there were differences among the major countries. now we heard from both russia and the united states, both permanent members of the security council here is the clear differences between the 2. if we know the outcomes of the sham referenda were pre determined in moscow, they in no way represent a legitimate expression of the will of th

the un security council is not fully discharging its mandate and responsibility to safeguard international peace and security. it lies in the unjust doubledealing acts of the united states and some u.n. member states. the un security council does not say even a single world -- word about the high-handed arbitrary, reckless war crimes of the united states. only accusing us of our righteous efforts to support national defense capabilities on a case-by-case basis, ensuring that the un security council has lost its competence and authority to act when it performs its duty to maintain international peace and security. as long as the double standards, unfairness, high handedness of the united states are not removed, decisions and resolutions adopted by the security council cannot have reasonable binding force nor the attributes of global peace and security. to put an end to the high handedness of these countries, including the united states, at the risk of the international security council community, with the sampling of these developing countries for the majority of the u.n. membership, as iss

in the what is to show the security council's position and make each of the 15 members of the security council declared that position the resolution has been drawn up by albania. and by the us and the u. s. representative of the security council, the us ambassador than to thomas greenfield is addressing the council right now. she's just actually read some quotes from the secretary general of the united nations. antonia terrace, who in the last 24 hours, said that the referenda, which he called not, not legitimate referenda deserve to be condemned. she also went on to say that this organization is referring to the un was built on an idea that never again would one country be able to take territory from another. and she said, that's exactly what's happening here. so the us ambassador, trying to rally support this last moment before the vote of all the 15 security council members. we know, i think pretty certainly how russia is going to vote. russia has been condemned here. russia is a permanent member of the security council and russia without doubt, in the vote that we're going to see v

five states, one of which was the soviet union, russia, its legal successor and the security council e of that system of international relations, in which today almost 200 states participate, but the ukrainian president, apparently, imagined that he was able to create a new security system, who even came up with the name the peace formula, the formula must be said to be very complicated, but the president of serbia speaks separately about the territorial integrity of ukraine in response to this asked your question. what is the difference between the sovereignty of the territorial integrity of ukraine and the sovereignty of the territorial integrity of serbia, most of those who are in the current general assembly advocate for changes in the un charter, they themselves do not comply with this charter, the president of serbia added that same evening, western politicians demonstrated that the prime minister did not comply with the charter of the united nations, the head of european diplomacy , josé borel, gathered eu foreign ministers to discuss new sanctions with them. against russia, of

today and the security council chamber. now, immediately russia spoke up at the beginning of the meeting, making clear that they objected to the fact that vladimir zalinski, the ukrainian president, was given a platform to speak via video link to the un security council meeting. they said clearly that this was simply turning the un security council chamber into a place to put on political shows to serve a geopolitical agenda. it did not fit with the rules of the you and russia made clear their objections. then we heard from rosemary decarlo, the under secretary, we heard from zalinski who then addressed the video link. and then when members of the security council spoke, it was very clear that there were differences among the major countries. now we heard from both russia and the united states, both permanent members of the security council here is the clear differences between the 2. we know the outcomes of these sham referenda were predetermine in moscow. they in no way represent a legitimate expression of the will of the

today in the security council chamber. now, immediately russia spoke up at the beginning of the meeting, making clue that they objective to the fact that is vladimir zalinski. the grand resident was given a platform mobile to speak via video link to the un security council meeting. they said clearly that this was simply turning the un security council chamber into a place to put on political shows to serve in dealing with janda. it did not fit with the rules of the you and russia made clear their objections. and then we heard rosemary decarlo under secretary the heard from zalinski who then address lee of video length and then and when members of the security council spoke, it was very clear that there were differences among the major countries. now we heard from both russia and the united states, both permanent members of the security council here is the clear differences between the 2. we know the outcomes of these sham referenda were predetermine in moscow. they in no way represent a legitimate expression of the will of

this is what antony blank and said shortly before the un security council meeting. will the us still allow ukrainian troops to use us weaponry to defend against russians in those territories? no matter what the outcome of these referendums and this, these possible annexations ukraine has the absolute right to defend itself throughout its territory, including to take back the territory that has been illegally seized one way or another by russia. now the nato chief also made clear that while nato countries are supplying weapons to the key of government that they do not consider nato to be part of the ongoing conflict. they consider this to be a fight between ukraine in russia. and while nato is supportive of ukraine, they are not directly involved. regardless, that was the context in which the un security council meeting took place. now, the un security council task with making sure world peace ingenue and deescalate and conflicts. but it seems like, as russia pointed out, the un security council was just using the platform for grand standing, just as a place to put o

if we talk about the un, let's start with the un security council, we see that the work of the un security council is practically blocked due to russia's veto herbest ca n't do anything to stop putin in the general assembly , is there any possibility to do it, well, look at the un today with its inability , especially the issue of war, especially the issue of aggression against ukraine on the part of the russian federation and it depends on the fact that in the un charter there is such a norm as legal and which are used by the permanent members of the russian federation, in particular, whether we like it or not . to allow the security council to play its statutory role, it is necessary to change the statute, it is not necessary to introduce those high-quality cases. today, it is only of an advisory nature. although i believe that the potential of the security council is not fully used it is necessary to show simply creative approaches, now there is no time to thoroughly discuss these specific proposals, but among them there are provisions that are not fully implemented, in particular, ther

it under a different name, you understand, well, the un charter begins with the fact that the security councilst solve problems of peace and security in the world today, security issues cannot be solved with all due respect to such problems as global warming, climate change, terrorism, economic decline, and many, many other things, but he cannot deal only with these problems, in the end, there are still many specialized institutions that deal with this, how can you nuclear energy, unesco, issues of culture and education, and so on, and so on, and yet the un is the core of the un, it is the un security council, if it is unable to work effectively, it means something in our house is not like that and we need to change something, we’ll see by the way, uh, today just starts the next session, next special one. it opens uh, and the session starts already uh, well, high-level discussions will begin in a week, and surely all these questions will be heard there. i think that and the ukrainian delegation, whoever heads it, should also express their vision, including those issues that you are raising rig

during the last month, we especially saw how e.e. the un or the un security council e.e.ia tried to use it in the situations surrounding the zaporizhzhia npp when they went there with heavy equipment, then there was a mission of the megatheque that came to the e.e. zaporizhia npp in energodar , we see how e.e. russia is methodically trying to use this high tribune the highest tribune in the world and was there or is there any certain way to avoid manipulation by the russians in the organization of the united nations and in what way to do it so that the highest tribune in the world does not turn into for the russians to use it for propaganda for their own interpretation of what is happening in ukraine in favor of the kremlin, unfortunately, russia will continue to use these high voniv tribunes to promote its negativity the speech in the middle of the pensions is shown on russian television or there is a copy-show. well , it is presented as, well, everything that happened there, that is, the narratives that are heard by western delegations and even from non-western ones are

least, approaches to what to do with this russian the federation, which does not just sit on the security council, it simply blocks everything and everything and does not actually allow it to work normally in the system of collective security that was created in 1945 and, er, it is all written in the statute, which, by the way, was never signed or recorded the russian federation did it, the soviet union - it is also ukraine and belarus, which are the founding countries of the un, but no one anywhere saw any signatures of the whole reason from the side of the russian federation, moreover, even the supreme council of the russian federation or the program what was the name of the meeting at that time, i don't remember exactly , uh, they could, well, at least to create the appearance of such legality, also, well, let's say , to verify the un charter in 1991, that is, this was also not done nationally, by the way. that is, you are talking about the fact that the russian federation now i am present in the un illegally, illegally, yes, at least legally, it is unclean, any lawyer will tell you that somet

. >> what does it mean, that russia, a permanent member of the un security council, is supposed to ensurelective peace and security? not just an invasion of another member, but now the annexing of territories. >> we have been clear, the russian invasion of ukraine has been a clear violation of the u.n. charter and international law. the sectary-general's efforts have been one on helping the people of ukraine on the humanitarian side, and where he could be useful and practical in bringing both sides together to limit the global impact of the war. >> president erdogan was talking about a successful effort by turkey and the u.n. to get out of those blockaded ukrainian port could the u.n. secretary general play a role in trying to mediate and ending to this crisis and negotiate a settlement? >> we have to take things one step at a time. our reading is at this point we don't see an immediate possibility for the two sides t speak togetheto settle this conflict. we would like to see it, but we don't see it happening soon. the availability of grain to not be exported from the black sea is a great

within the framework of international law, relying primarily on un security council resolution 1244,e will continue to provide all -round support to our serbian friends in defending the legitimate rights of serbia's interests, protecting its state sovereignty and territorial integrity senegal is one of russia's most important partners in africa diplomatic relations were established 60 years ago and all these years our countries have been successfully interacting, both in politics and in other areas, including trade and the economic sphere. president sal of senegal and i held productive talks this summer in the city of sochi, taking into account senegal's chairmanship of the african union, we discussed issues related to strengthening stability and security throughout the african continent, as well as preparations for the upcoming russia-africa summit, relations with the republic of cyprus have always been built taking into account the cultural and spiritual commonality and the traditions of friendship between our peoples, the russian federation has been and is in favor of a comprehens

alexander lukashenko in the palace of independence, he met with the secretary of state of the security council alexander volfovich. firstly, the concept of national security will be updated in the country, which is required by the difficult geopolitical situation at the same time. this is a systematic work in the wake of the referendum and the new constitution, the document will be open. the main requirement of the president is not to hide anything - the full openness of the text. it will be possible to discuss in their teams and organizations on dialogue platforms in the same way as this it was when we were working on a new constitution, today we touched on the situation on the southern border, including taking into account the experience and the special operation in ukraine, on behalf of the president, the security council also monitors the situation in law enforcement agencies, but the head of state. we need an assessment not through the prism of exclusively positive results. in particular, from the point of view of what else needs to be worked on, the secretaries of state will not get invo

and they should certainly roost lose the right to veto in the un security council. and certainly it's this situation that is leading people to say that has to be a rethink of the way that the united nations is built, particularly the security council. they should perhaps be more members of the security council and more permanent members as well. because remember, this security council was established in the aftermath of the 2nd world war and was built built to deal with the realities of a post war world. and the world has changed dramatically since then, and many countries think it's no time for the u. n. to change as well. and unfair south, thanks very much for joining us there. i will come back to you later once we hear the ukrainian foreign minister speaking and within the next half hour, we imagine well as you just heard, russia's foreign minister sag oliver of left the meeting as his country faced more and more criticism, he attempted to defend the invasion minutes earlier, it wasn't the one that was to the you room. today's meeting was motivated by the intenti

and most importantly, the practical implementation of the calls to reform the un security council today. congratulations ruslana yes, even yesterday during the meeting of the security council, which was dedicated to bringing russia to justice for the crimes, war crimes, which it still commits in ukraine , one of the non-permanent members of the security council, in particular said that they support joe biden's initiative, which he announced on wednesday during his speech during the week of high debates , it must be said that this speech was very significant because it was the first time at such a level that they talked about the need to reform the un, of course, as the congressman noted now the ball is in the un's court, and it is the security council that should raise this issue, but we also have to understand that the security council is a collective body, unfortunately, russia still has the right to veto, that is, regardless of what decisions will be made to say that the vote will be positive in this context, we cannot yet understand that this should be a discussion within the framew

this adds weight to the case for security council reform, whether it actually gets anywhere. it's a different question because it's know that china is pretty much adamantly opposed . now, the cranium president, problem is lensky is also about to address the un assembly this this afternoon, remotely understand what's at stake. that's right. so this is an important opportunity for zalinski to address the international community, of course. and i think one of the significant things about this address is that it is simply happening a tool that it's uncommon for a video address to be permitted. of course, it was the last couple of years because of kobe, the general assembly was held remotely. but otherwise, it's uncommon, so there was a vote in the un general assembly on whether to permit this in this case. and a clear majority, $101.00 members of the un general assembly voted for that. including interestingly, countries that have been quite on the fence on the conflict so far, for instance, india. so it's, it's, it's a coup for lensky to be able to make this address a tow, partic

and immediately russia for says that russian ambassador rejected the idea, came out in the 1st security council meeting, 2nd, security johnson. and again, right now, there is a euphemism. now, there are being using, it's called protection. so i'm being honest with you. i don't think that the russian federation will accept that protection zone is ation as being proposed by a year, which is a very noble and very logical demand. my humble assessment is we need to really to elevate this to escalate that to the level of the political negotiation. and security council needs to be more proactive rather than sitting down and listening to their pontification and this fiery passion to speech us. the crane says 3 civilians have been killed by russian missile attacks near the eastern city of hot tubes. green 2nd largest city has in council showing since the start of the conflict with much of the fighting focused on the east. but ukraine is reporting progress in the counter offensive in the south heat by rockets again and again. hockey is ukraine's 2nd largest city. it's position in the east, near the russi

it's an interesting thing, i'll just make a digression so that it's clear what's up with the security council. and i want to remind you that since the mid-2000s, sanctions have been introduced against iran by a un security council resolution, which russia also voted for then but in principle , this did not interfere with anything, as later it turned out that russia was sending arms to iran in order to circumvent the same sanctions that she herself voted for from the highest platform of the security council, and it remained practically irresponsible even then, as we see perhaps if russia had already been brought to justice and harshly brought to justice, there would not have been the consequences of the catastrophic changes that fueled russia. what is important in general? here are a few messages that resonated in the context. the first is that at the general assembly meeting it was said that if russia cannot to be legitimate, especially for ukraine, which is participating in the war, this is an unequivocal position from the head of the european council that russia should at least suspend its

if not in the security council, then in the general assembly, well, with new sanctions, of course, thekrainian people has already shown that it will never submit to russia and the council of the international community should do the same. the position of the united states is very clear our country will never recognize the territory annexed by russia must be defended. charter. he at least. during our meetings, the savims asked many times to observe the charter of the organization, but it is not enough just to clearly fulfill these requirements. we must act strictly according to the charter, that is, stand up for the victims in ukraine against the russian ag. vasily nebenzya reminded his to a colleague from the united states that when it came to american interests, it was easy to do without the un in the same kosovo for the independence of which washington so advocated there was no separation referendum in order to protect it at all. that 's what it was called. why can't the donbass have this long-awaited event for the inhabitants of donbass, which should bring peace to their lands, whic

the russian representative in the security council gave due courage agency staff, and not with theire. what are the conditions under which the station and the people at it are currently operating, but even this was only briefly discussed in the report to the recommendation that military equipment and vehicles are located nearby at several points, so we recommend that all military equipment be removed from the buildings on the territory of the station so that it does not interfere normal operation of nuclear and physical safety systems. how several trucks for transporting personnel of the russian forces interfere with nuclear reactions chemical and biological protection, which are on duty at the station in case of liquidation of the consequences of a possible accident, lys is also not clear, but surprisingly, this recommendation coincided with the requirements put forward by representatives of the united states and great britain, the report also speaks of the enormous pressure and stress experienced by brave employees station, but now they cannot be called just employees, and not host

the idea came out in the 1st security council meeting, 2nd, security johnson. and again, right now there is a euphemism there are being using. it's called protection. so i'm being honest with you. i don't think that the russian federation would accept that protection zone. neutralization as being proposed by a year, which is a very noble, i'm very logical demand. my humble assessment is we need to really to elevate this, trying to escalate that to the level of the political negotiation and security. cancer needs to be more proactive, rather than sitting down and listening to their pontification and this fiery passion to speech. us. how is difficult with russia as a veto power, and the security council isn't that national mascot team? any? thanks. thank you very much. and let's get you up to speed on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. hundreds of student protesters clashed with police outside the presidential palace in santiago, chile, the protesters are demanding more resources for education. just days ago, voters actually reject

there now the security council, he seems to have spoken.e often either blocked or refused to be considered in march of this year. the security council refused to accept a russian resolution calling for a ceasefire in ukraine, and in april our country twice requested a security council meeting on the situation in bucha, but consideration was denied without an unprecedented story. not to mention attempts to force our envoy shut up right at the meeting you. turn your wonderful clock as much as you like, but i'll take that much time. as much as i need, initially one of the main goals of the creation of the united nations was to prevent world conflicts, however, over the 77 years of its existence. it failed to prevent dozens of bloody wars. for example, mission peacekeepers allowed the korean war to start in 1950. un peacekeepers did not stop the fighting clashes between india and pakistan in the middle of the 20th century. well, in 1999 while nato bombed yugoslavia for 78 days , the security council officially could not even condemn the actions

of the security council decoys so easily do not drag green. i had to try myself. he again raises the stakes, however, replays such improvisations, the authors of this script. even can greet you need to globally isolate russia, this country, can no longer be a permanent member of the security council, he and the rightist wetta should exclude russia from all international organizations, if this is difficult to do in terms of procedures, then its participation should be suspended. second. it is necessary to introduce even tougher sanctions against moscow if russia recognizes. tatarreferendums , there’s nothing more to talk about with putin, but why didn’t kiev want to talk before? why did he leave the negotiations after the command from washington, as sergey lavrov said in the same hall for another week no explanations back, but now the united states is threatening to adopt an anti-russian resolution. if not in the security council, then in the general assembly, well, with new sanctions, of course, the ukrainian people have already shown that the

has, has going back quite a few years now that it wants to see the security council expanded. the security council seen by many of course as a relic of the post 2nd world war era going back decade doesn't include countries like india, which now obviously hugely important plays on the world stage. i think the fact that by is latching onto this at this point. so it underscores the fact that they see this is a potential opportunity for a given russia's involvement in this war. that is, that a permanent member of the security council which wields a veto, which is able to block pretty much anything of consequence that it wants to in the u. s. system is waging a war like this. this adds weight to the case for security council reform, whether it actually gets anywhere is a different question because it's know that china is pretty much adamantly opposed . now the cranium president, problem is zaleski, is also about to address the un assembly this this afternoon remotely, as i understand what's at stake. that's right. so this is an important opportunity for zalinski to address the inte

and earlier i asked her what her main takeaways were from the security council session. well, the biggest takeaways really that am after we've seen a sense of soc, the 1st time fighting a putin, a threatened implicity implicit eve with using and nuclear weapons. this time, this seems to be a sense of outrage that also has reached the highest level of the united nations antonio good terrace, whose role of course it is to bring everybody to the table to try and find peaceful solutions to try and resolve things. who is essentially the world's chief diplomat, and even he feels quite clearly that a red line is being crossed there at he spoke of a war that is being waged against human rights themselves. so although there won't be any resolution, there won't be any physical action coming out of the un, because every rasa can veto anything in the security council at there is a more than just symbolism here. that is resounding condemnation, not just from the traditional west at, with china, even voicing something that in the chinese way of reading things could be seen as criticis
