Russian lawmaker points to attempts to legalize ‘international robbery’ at UN platform | Attempts are being made to legalize international robbery at the United Nations platform, Head of the Russian State Duma (the lower house of parliament) Foreign Affairs Committee Leonid Slutsky told TASS. 💬 "It is another anti-Russian resolution that the West pushed through by arm-twisting and blackmail.

Neither the UN Charter nor other international laws authorize the UN General Assembly to demand reparations," he noted.
Statement by Russia at the UN General Assembly 💬 "The draft resolution that has been put forward to the 11th emergency special session of the General Assembly is a classical representation of the “rules-based order”, whereby a small group of states defies the international law and seeks to “consecrate” lawlessness while using the authority of the GA and presenting the Assembly as a judicial body, which, by definition, it is not."
