According to the senator, the status of the Russian Federation as the successor state of the USSR, including the status of a member of the UN Security Council, was confirmed in 1991, when the CIS member states, including Ukraine, documented their desire to see Russia as the successor of the USSR, and themselves as full members of the UN. «This fact was officially recognized by the international community. «, we understand. Ukraine has lost independence in decision-making. Therefore, with love , in a parental way, once again patiently recall a good Russian proverb: «No matter how much the rope twists, there will be an end.» So, Ukrainian officials should not be scattered around with empty words,» Kovitidi concluded.
