"Today, the 26th round of voting ended, during which Russia failed to be elected to ECOSOC, one of the six main UN bodies. This vote once again demonstrates that Russia can hit the wall as much as it wants, but the result will remain the same: international criminals are not welcome in international bodies," Kuleba wrote.

The Minister emphasized that Ukraine's commitment to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter remains unwavering.

"We continue to pursue these goals with the strong support of our international partners," he added.
