Russia, whose leader is accused of war crimes, assumed charge of the United Nations Security Council on Saturday causing fury in Ukraine, with President Volodymyr Zelensky calling it an absurd and destructive move.

The last time Russia held the rotating presidency of the body responsible for maintaining peace and combating acts of international aggression was in February 2022 when Moscow troops launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The presidency rotates alphabetically each month among the 15 members. Although it is largely procedural, the Kremlin and other Russian officials vowed to "exercise all its rights" in the role. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called Russia's presidency of the Security Council a "slap in the face to the international community." Zelensky said it was time for a general overhaul of global institutions, including the Security Council.

I feel you Mr. President

How ridiculous is this situation in the UN Security Council?

What a confused world we have now.

Why worry? Other members of the Security Council have the right to oppose any issue contrary to their interest.

That’s what Zelensky acting stunt can never mend! Ask for Biden as his supporting actor.
