π·πΊis not a legitimate member of the UN nor UNSC.
Why isn't SG Guterres initiating action to fix it?

Russian presidency in the UNSC is a stark reminder that something is wrong with the way international security architecture is functioning. A state that systemically ruins international peace and security will be presiding over the body tasked with maintaining them @United24media
It's not just un-American but also immoral for Donald's administration to operate more like a mafia organization than a democratic government.
π¨ BREAKING: Zelensky confirms Ukraine received no intelligence from its partners last night
Since last evening, Russian forces have attacked Ukraine with more than 100 weapons, including jet-powered drones, loitering munitions and ballistic missiles.
A significant number were intercepted, but unfortunately not all of them, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
In particular, Russia launched what Zelensky described as a particularly treacherous ballistic missile attack on Kyiv, with five missiles striking civilian infrastructure.
βUnfortunately, there was no warning from our partners about this attack,β the Ukrainian president stressed. Intelligence on Russian ballistic missile launches is crucial for saving lives.
Zelensky also noted that Ukraine had refrained from striking Russian oil refineries for two days following Trump's announcement of an energy ceasefire. Russia, meanwhile, continues to bomb civilians.

Firepoint CEO Terekh: Before our FP7 missile, the shortest ever recorded timeline for developing a ballistic missile was 7 years. We brought it to two.
A regular ballistic missile takes around 15 years on average. Systems like Patriot take 30 to 40 years. 1/

1/ Putin is in a panic and so is Trump. Putin's panic is related to the fact that the Oligarchs aren't funding his war so he's having to steal the bank accounts of small businesses and workers that will cause massive civil unrest that could bring down his regime.

A report from the negotiating team following its meetings in the United States and based on daily communication with the American Presidentβs team. Ukraine is ready for real decisions and de-escalatory steps to bring an end to this war closer. Ukraine has supported the energy ceasefire. Our position is absolutely clear: Ukraine is ready to guarantee the energy ceasefire, as announced by the American President, and Russia must take corresponding steps.
As of now, there is no indication that Russia is complying with the conditions outlined by the American President. Unfortunately, there were strikes on our energy infrastructure yesterday, and strikes on our energy infrastructure continue today. All day long, there have been air raid alerts across Ukraine, Russian βshahedsβ are being used, and aerial bomb strikes continue. If these strikes are indeed Russiaβs response to the U.S. Presidentβs statement, it means the Russians have squandered yet another opportunity to bring peace closer. A lot depends on Americaβs position for de-escalation to actually succeed. Pressure on Russia is needed. We continue to communicate with the American side at all levels. We defined the next steps and the diplomatic framework. Glory to Ukraine!

President Donald Trump is facing growing Republican resistance over his deal to bring Russian diesel back into the US market.
The criticism is no longer coming only from Democrats. Republican senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis and John Curtis joined a bipartisan statement demanding that the administration βimmediately reverse course,β warning that American purchases would give Vladimir Putin a financial lifeline while Russia continues killing Ukrainians. Tillis went further, saying there is a legitimate case that Trump is not following the law.
House Republicans are rebelling too. Don Bacon called Trumpβs Russia policy a failure and said propping up Putinβs war economy is βmorally wrong.β Brian Fitzpatrick is preparing legislation to block Russian oil purchases altogether.
That is what makes this politically dangerous for Trump: Republicans are not merely questioning the optics. They are accusing their own president of weakening sanctions, helping Putin and potentially breaking US law.

REALITY CHECK | TRUMP DENIES RUSSIAN AND CHINESE AID TO IRAN
TRUMP SAYS RUSSIA AND CHINA AREN'T HELPING IRAN. U.S. INTELLIGENCE REPORTING TELLS A DIFFERENT STORY.
In one post, Trump says:
βIf they are, itβs at a very low level.β
Then: βI donβt believe they are at all.β
And finally: βWe would know about it.β
BUT HERE'S WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW:
In March, *The Washington Post* reported that U.S. officials said Russia was providing Iran intelligence to target American forces.
In September, *The Wall Street Journal* reported U.S. findings linking Chinese satellite imagery to an Iranian strike that killed three American troops.
Neither report settles the full extent of current assistance.
BUT THE PRESIDENT'S DISBELIEF IS NOT AN INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENT.
And calling people morons doesn't make the evidence disappear.

Andrii Melnyk, Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the UN, quoted a statement by Russian propagandist Solovyev during an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council:
"When we are asked whether we should care about the people living in those [Ukrainian] cities, my answer is: Yes, we do. We are thinking about where to bury them."
@MelnykAndrij continued:
"So Russians are thinking where to bury us, Ukrainians, all together. Just let those words sink in, words that make one's blood run cold."
The ambassador stressed that these are neither literary metaphors nor rhetorical exaggerations:
"We're hearing, in plain and frightening terms, calls for all Ukrainians to be killed en masse - and for their bodies to be buried or maybe burned."
He also quoted another horrific statement by Medvedev:
"They [Ukrainians] must be destroyed. That's it."
Russia - a terrorist state that commits war crimes every single day - has no place in the UN.
For the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague:
Russian propagandist Solovyev says that Russiaβs goal is to kill all residents of Ukrainian cities:
"And to those Kyiv residents who are still there, I repeat for the hundredth time: leave the city. You are doomed. To the residents of Odesa and Mykolaiv: youβve had your laugh. When people ask, 'Do we really have to think about them at all?' Yes. We are thinking about where to bury all of you."
Calls for the mass murder of civilians are classified under international law and national legislation as among the gravest international crimes and criminal offenses and may fall under several key categories:
β’ direct and public incitement to genocide;
β’ instigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity;
β’ war propaganda and incitement to hatred.

πΊπ¦πΊπΈ During recent negotiations in Miami, a Ukrainian official asked what Ukraine would receive in exchange for the United States lifting sanctions against Russian oil. The American delegation responded that the U.S. is already doing a lot for Ukraine and should not compromise to stop attacks on oil refineries, according to New York Times.
The meeting in Miami lasted more than six hours, and at one point, the U.S. special envoy, Witcoff, left the meeting to participate in a phone call between Trump and Putin.
Bjorn Seibert, one of the EU representatives at the meeting in Miami, told other EU representatives that one of the most important conclusions of the meeting was that the U.S. is interacting with Russia more actively than is publicly acknowledged.

Thanks, Trump voters. For putting the biggest buffoon in America in charge of the country.
Maybe he should ask Hegseth? He told Congress they were helping Iran.
Trump: βI see so many comments from the Radical Left Morons and Lunatics that China and Russia are helping the βwonderfulβ Islamic Republic of Iran. If they are, itβs at a very low level, but I donβt believe they are at all. They have too much to lose, and we would know about it, and know about it very fast! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMPβ

We do know.
His own Defense Secretary told senators they are.
