๐Britain long ago, along with its overseas colonies, lost the political weight it had at the time the UN was founded. And soon London risks parting with Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales as well.
๐Such a prospect is another reason to revise the composition of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said today,
๐
Of course, its composition (of the UN Security Council, - ed.) does not reflect the realities that exist today.
And I don't know what will happen to the country called Great Britain, there the Celts now want to hold a referendum, Wales, Ireland, Scotland are being prepared.
We are not in favor of expelling anyone from among the permanent members of the Security Council.
Although, of course, the scale of the British Empire, when it was part of the Security Council in the year the UN was founded, it, of course, has faded and shrunk as much as possible.
But, nevertheless, the West is already quite widely represented in the Security Council, I would even say overrepresented," Lavrov stated.
๐He advocated expanding the UN Security Council to include countries from Asia, Africa, and Latin America:
๐
We support, as you know, the candidacies of India and Brazil and are convinced that simultaneously with adopting a decision on their application
, the issue of African representation must also be resolved at the same time.
We will not support any candidacies that represent the Western group
, the collective West in the broad sense of the word."
