Rama debates the Russian representative at the UN Security Council meeting

The UN Security Council meeting in New York has started with debates. Albanian prime minister, Edi Rama, who chairs the meeting, debated the representative of the Russian Federation.

The latter said he didn’t agree with the Ukrainian President, Volodymir Zelensky delivering a speech, accusing the UN Security Council of double standards.

Russia asked for Zelensky to speak after the representatives of the UN Security Council member countries. However, the Albanian PM told Russia’s representative that it was Moscow that made Ukraine so important in the global arena by starting a war.

“You stop the war and President Zelensky will not take the floor” Rama told the Russian ambassador to the UN.

On his part, the representative of the Russian delegation called on Rama to speak as chairman of the UN Security Council meeting and not as Prime Minister of Albania.
