Experts talked about what role Russia can play in the new organization.

Earlier, on January 29, it was reported that Russia had appealed to the UN with a request for recognition of the right of the peoples of the new regions to self-determination. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that a corresponding request had been sent to Secretary General Antonio Guterres, and stressed that the organization's leadership supports the parties to the conflict in Ukraine. This, in his opinion, violates the principles of the impartiality of the United Nations.
