Russia tried to block the speech of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine, which has already begun in New York.
In particular, the representative of the Russian Federation spoke out against granting the President of Ukraine the right to speak via video link, citing the fact that participation via video link is not provided for by the charter.

At the same time, the UN Security Council decided to vote on this issue and, with 13 votes in favor, decided to invite the President of Ukraine. The representative of the Russian Federation voted against, the representative of China abstained.
“Well, the Russians are infamous for being world champions in foot shooting.; masochistically asked to vote on Ukraine's request to allow Volodymyr Zelensky to apply to the Security Council. No one supported the Russian negative vote. Strongly 13 votes in support of Ukraine,"
