Russia will never give a green light to restrictions on the use of veto power in the UN Security Council, as this right is not a privilege but a burden of special responsibility, said the director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Department for International Organizations Kirill Lugbinov in an interview with TASs. "We will never give the green light to proposals aimed at limiting the use of the veto, regardless of the justification offered. This right is not a privilege but a burden of special responsibility, a tool that encourages the search for lasting and fair compromises. "The decline in the effectiveness of the UN Security Councils is not rooted in the use of the veto but in the policies of the Western minority, which continues its attempts to use this body solely to advance its agenda," he said.
