Meeting of the Security CouncilMOSCOW, March 14 Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin, commenting on the appeals of Ukrainian politicians exclude Russia from the UN Security Council, said that these ideas are absolutely unrealistic. «Such proposals and ideas have been heard, but they are absolutely unrealistic. Firstly, because there are procedural issues: to amend those important provisions that determine the work of the Security Council and membership in it, it is necessary that two-thirds of the UN member states vote for it and after that two-thirds of the UN member states ratify it. And among them there must be the votes of all five permanent members of the UN Security Council, including Russia. And it is clear that such a decision will not pass «, Vershinin said in an interview with the Izvestiya newspaper.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Western pressure will not change Moscow's course. He also stressed the importance of that without Russia the architect tour of international relations will crumble.
