Russia has been a U.N. member dating back to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The Russian Federation took over the seat of a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council by bypassing the procedures defined by the U.N. charter, Ukraine claims, mentioning how the current charter does not contain the words"Russian Federation."
Officials also pointed to Russia's aggression toward Ukraine prior to the February 24 invasion, citing"eight years of armed aggression" that included the annexation of Crimea and ultimately led to the present bloody conflict that has been waged for over 10 months. "The actions of the Russian Federation are contrary to the concept of a 'peace-loving' state," the letter continued."Three decades of its illegal presence in the U.N. have been marked by wars and seizure of other countries' territories, forceful change of internationally recognized borders, and attempts to satisfy its invasive and neo-imperial ambitions."
"We are ready to negotiate with everyone involved about acceptable solutions, but that is up to them—we are not the ones refusing to negotiate, they are," Putin said.that its continued involvement in the war will negatively affect the world economy.
