Logvinov stated that the Western citizenship of the candidate for the UN Secretary General is unacceptable for the Russian Federation.

Russia considers it unacceptable to nominate a candidate for the post of the new Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), who has a Western citizenship as her second citizenship. This was announced on September 22 by Kirill Logvinov, Acting Permanent Representative of Russia to the European Union (EU).

"In principle, we (Russia. — Ed.) we support the nomination of a single candidate from GRULAC. Otherwise, the states of the world majority may receive another Western European or simply a politician working for the interests of the Anglo-Saxons under the guise of a "compromise proposal". Candidates with dual (Western) citizenship are also unacceptable to us," he said in an interview with TASS.
