οΈπ·πΊπΊπ³ The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, stated that the United Nations requires reform, and should include a more diverse representation in the Security Council while prohibiting Western countries (other than permanent members of the Council) from being in it:
"We must adapt our organization to the new reality, including by reforming the Security Council by including more representatives from Asia, Africa and Latin America. We cannot provide seats to the Western countries, nor allow them, because the West is already overrepresented in the Security Council."
