The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine issued a statement calling on UN member states to take official steps to prove that Russia's presence on the UN Security Council is illegal and to deprive it of its permanent member status.

Ukraine called on UN member states to take official steps to prove that Russia's presence on the UN Security Council is 'illegal' and deprive Russia of its status as a permanent member.

Ukraine's MFA stated that the Russian Federation has never gone through the legal procedure to be admitted to membership and therefore illegally occupies the seat of the USSR in the UN Security Council.

Ukraine initiated a complex process aimed at achieving the goals of removing Russia from the UN and is ready to cooperate with other countries to protect the UN Charter.

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry stated that Russia illegally occupies the seat of the USSR in the UN Security Council and called for its expulsion from the UN.

The statement cited Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and Chechnya as contrary to the concept of a peace-loving state defined in the UN Charter.
