President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called for Russia to be stripped of its powers in the United Nations General Assembly, as well as to take away the seat of a permanent member of the UN Security Council from the aggressor. At the same time, he again noted that the Russian Federation must be recognized as a terrorist country.. He said this during a speech at a meeting of the UN Security Council..

Zelensky noted that at present the organization does not have a legal definition of a terrorist state, but must approve it in order to punish countries for such actions..

He recalled the regular shelling of Russian occupiers committed over the past few days - in Kyiv, Kharkov, Dnipro and other cities, and called for an enemy missile attack on a shopping center in Kremenchug to be recognized as a terrorist act..

“Which of you does not agree that this is terrorism? If in some other part of the world some other organization would act as Russia is acting now, if this organization killed civilians, it would definitely be recognized as a terrorist. Such organizations become enemies of all mankind,” the President said..

The head of state stressed that those actions that are punished at the level of criminals and terrorist organizations should not go unpunished at the level of a state that has become a terrorist. “These are daily terrorist acts committed seven days a week. They work like terrorists,” Zelensky added..

He noted that, despite the violation of the fundamental principles of the UN and the international legal order, the Russian Federation has not yet been properly held accountable.. Moreover, the aggressor remains in the organs of the United Nations and takes the place of a permanent member in the Security Council, which he received only " Although the UN Charter allows for the exclusion of this state from the organization.

" I urge you to deprive the Russian delegation of its vote in the UN General Assembly. It's necessary and fair. Russia has no right to remain in the Security Council. If we are consistent, if we show the proper political will, this will be the only possible solution thanks to which the UN Charter can work and respect for such organizations is preserved,"

According to him, the organization has enough authority to hold the Russian Federation accountable.. In particular, according to Section 7 of the Charter, the UN may establish a special international tribunal to investigate Russian crimes on the territory of Ukraine..

" It must be held accountable for terrorism, otherwise it may transfer terrorist activity to the territory of other states of Europe and Asia. The Baltic countries, Poland, Moldova, Kazakhstan,"
