What happened? The start of an unprovoked and unjustified war against another state should lead to the automatic suspension of the membership of the aggressor country in the UN Security Council.

Background. The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi in his video address to the UN General Assembly, called on the international community to block any trade and relations with the russian federation, as well as to take away its decision-making capabilities in international organisations, such as the UN.
