Ukraine initiated the process of excluding Russia from the UN Security Council and the Organization as a whole

According to Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, Russia illegitimately occupies the seat of a permanent member of the UN Security Council "after occupying the seat of the USSR in the UN Security Council... without any legitimate grounds for this."

Kuleba noted that this is a gross violation of Clause 2 of Article 4 of the UN Charter, which defines the only legitimate procedure for acquiring membership in the Organization.
