Linda Thomas-Greenfield. File photoWASHINGTON, Jun 8 The US is using a Russian sting operation in Ukraine to talk about UN reform, US Ambassador to the organization Linda Thomas-Greenfield said. «We see this as the moment to start doing that. We have started discussions about what reforms we can push forward that will limit countries like Russia sitting in the Security Council and weaken efforts in the context of peace and security,» Griffinld said at a House committee hearing. She responded to the lawmaker's comment that that it is necessary to use the moment of the Russian special operation in Ukraine in order to use Russia’s “unpopularity” to change the UN rules. “They are isolated in the Security Council. They feel it. The right of veto for the Russian Federation as a permanent member of the Security Council does not protect against voicing the anti-Russian position of other countries, she said. «We are looking at what reforms can be adopted in the coming years dy», — noted the US envoy.
