Moscow's proposal to move the UN headquarters to Sochi remains on the table, given the many violations committed by the United States as the current host country of the headquarters, the director of the International Organizations Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Kirill Lugbinov, said in an interview with TASS. Although moving the UN headquarters from the US to another country is theoretically possible, with "known complaints of many member states against the US as the host country of the headquarters of world organizations" instead, there is no "realistic chance that such an initiative will be raised in New York at this time", he noted.
