Quote: "We will officially make a speech outlining this position tomorrow [26 December – ed.]...

We have a very simple question: does Russia have the right to remain a permanent member of the UN Security Council and to remain a member of the United Nations at all?

And we have a convincing and reasoned answer: no, it does not."

Details: Kuleba also noted that the question of what will happen to Russia after its defeat in the war that they started is no longer a taboo for world diplomacy.

"These issues have not yet been discussed at press conferences and in heads of states and governments public speeches. However at a lower level, people are already asking the question: what kind of a country should Russia become so that it will not pose a threat to peace and security," Kuleba added.
