Ukraine outraged as Russia assumes UN Security Council presidency.

Russia assumes the presidency of the UN Security Council this month, which Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba calls "the world's worst April Fool's joke" as Russia's troops occupy parts of Ukraine. The Security Council presidency rotates alphabetically among its 15 member nations, but Russia's behavior in Ukraine has raised concerns about its neutrality. The UN charter does not make it easy to eliminate a permanent member of the Council, and Russia's veto power can keep its representatives at the council's table forever. The US has vowed to challenge Russia's lies and bring credible voices, data, and facts on the ground.
