BBC: Russia assumes UN Security Council presidency despite Ukrainian anger
Russia has taken the presidency of the UN Security Council despite Ukraine urging members to block the move.
Each of the council's 15 members takes up the presidency for a month, on a rotating pattern.
The last time Russia had the presidency, February 2022, it launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
It means the Security Council is being led by a country whose president is subject to an international arrest warrant for alleged war crimes.
The International Criminal Court - which is not a UN institution - issued the warrant for Vladimir Putin last month.

Update #3: Here is the US response .... Russia 'should not be' on UN Security Council, says US diplomat (Euronews/AFP).
The UN exists only to suck blood out of the US taxpayer. Now I'm being placed in debt so a country who started a major war can sit as the president on the security council. What does the UN do exactly?

You illiterate idiots cannot figure out simple deductive logic.
And typical for you all of the progressive liberal persuasion, when a valid definition does not work to fit your narrative, what do you do?
Admit you were wrong?
Admit the Truth?
No, of course not. What you freaks do is change the definition of the word to fit the false narrative!
Pathetic.
You are playing with fire.
You will get the future you deserve....as slaves
