Washington D.C./08.03.23/Turan: The State Department said on Tuesday that Russia’s upcoming presidency of the UN Security Council will not impact global standing on its brutal war in Ukraine, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
Asked by TURAN whether the world should be worried about Moscow's taking over UNSC presidency next month, spokesperson Ned Price said at daily briefing that there will be no amount of “propaganda, misinformation or disinformation that Russia can attempt to manufacture to drown out its lies and to hide to the truth from those represented in this body and those around the world who are listening to it."
As a permanent member of the Security Council, Russia will be holding its scheduled one-month presidency on April 1.
Price recalled that Russia was president of the SC last February, and "it was during a pretty notable session of the Security Council that Russia tried to bring together to issue its own propaganda to talk about what it termed speciously the violations of human rights in the Donbas region."
"But despite Russia’s best efforts, the international community came together and exposed what Russia was planning to do to its neighbor on an unjust, illegal basis... Secretary Blinken laid that out in that session in pretty exacting detail. Other countries who were represented at that roundtable in the UN Security Council chamber voiced similar concerns, grave concerns, about what we highly suspected Russia would be doing in the coming days," Price reminded.
