Russian diplomat: The United Nations is in crisis / Moscow’s lack of support for sanctions against North Korea

according to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, “Dimitri Polyansky, the first deputy permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations, in an interview with the newspaper “Izvestia”, published in Moscow, expressed his opinion that the United Nations reflects the situation of the whole world. He said: “The world is in a crisis now, so the United Nations is also in a crisis.” We cannot have a better organization than the one that the current state of our world deserves.” It continues in the United Nations. Reforms are needed, the process has already taken more than 20 years. He added: First of all, we are in favor of increasing the representation of developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America in the Security Council as a result of the reforms.

The first deputy permanent representative explained about Russia’s position in the international arena: “Certainly, our credibility has increased significantly in recent years in the Asian continent, especially in the Middle East region. All countries witness that we adhere to a principled and fixed stance and are not guided by opportunistic considerations. We strive to strengthen multilateralism and create a fully equitable international security architecture. And this approach is appreciated by the countries of the global South, and they understand that we protect the interests of these countries in the United Nations.”

This Russian diplomat about the news. Bloomberg said that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt and Jordan have privately prepared a plan to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and solve the problems in the Gaza Strip after the war, and they even have the support of the United States. “Currently there are many plans and different information about the current situation in Gaza. Many are now “practicing shouting out loud” what the parameters of a Middle East settlement should be. But we don’t think this is a key issue at the moment. We are of the opinion that the first thing that should be done is to establish a ceasefire and stop the violence.”

Polyansky also reminded about the danger of deterioration of the situation in the Asia-Pacific region: “Now everyone sees these dangers. It is hard to say how the situation will develop. It is clear that the Americans are intensifying it. You have to see what will happen. Of course, if we want to tell the truth, the situation in the region is still not very noticeable in the United Nations and they are not on the agenda of the Security Council. This issue is examined only in the context of the situation of the Korean Peninsula, while the general issues related to the security situation of the Asia-Pacific region are not mentioned.”

Another question emphasized: “Of course, Russia is worried about the increase in the number of North Korean missile tests, but it will not allow the imposition of new sanctions against this country.” We have made it clear that sanctions alone do not work. Restrictions should not be overused and should be accompanied by other measures that our colleagues often forget. Moscow responds to this within the framework of the tools at its disposal.”
