Ukraine-News: Russian court issues arrest warrant for US reporter Gershkovich

Ukraine calls the Russian presidency of the UN Security Council, which begins on April 1, a “bad joke”. Russia has illegally won its seat on the Council, it is waging a “colonial war” and its leader is “a war criminal” against whom the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for kidnapping Ukrainian children, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba tweeted. As the presidency, the Kremlin has little influence on the Council’s decisions, but sets the agenda. Ukraine demands that Russia be expelled from the highest UN body over the invasion of Ukraine. Russia last chaired the Security Council in February 2022, when Moscow sent Russian troops into Ukraine. The presidency of the UN Security Council rotates monthly, with the 15 member states alternating in alphabetical order.
