Russia Accuses UN of Bias in Ukraine Crisis, Demands New Secretary-General

Russia's Foreign Ministry director, Kirill Logvinov, accused the UN of systemic bias in the Ukraine crisis, stating the organization lacks impartiality. He claimed cooperation with UN officials has been difficult and that changes are not expected until a new Secretary-General is elected. The UN has not publicly responded to these claims.

Kirill Logvinov, Director of the International Organizations Department at the Russian Foreign Ministry, stated that Russia sees no constructive role for the UN in the Ukrainian crisis. He emphasized that cooperation with senior UN officials has been difficult due to a 'systemic inability of the Secretariat to act objectively and impartially in the context of the Ukraine crisis.' Moscow does not expect changes until a new Secretary-General is elected.
