While Russia sits idly at the UN, Russia attacks Ukrainian cities, killing and injuring civilians

Russia still illegally occupies a permanent seat at the UN Security Council, an organisation created to uphold peace. It took the Soviet Union’s seat without any legal basis. A country that wages war, violates international law, and destabilises European security has no place at the UN.

Nations must unite to end Russia’s war of aggression – impose stronger sanctions, boost Ukraine’s military and defensive capabilities, and apply real pressure to compel Putin to peace.
