The moment Russia attempted to block President Zelensky speaking at the UN Security Council

Watch the full moment the Albanian prime minister exchanged terse words with the Russian delegate in unprecedented scenes at the UN Security Council.
Russia has objected to the proposal to hand the floor over to Volodymyr Zelensky before security council members can speak.
However, Albanian prime minister Edi Rama says the notice of speaking orders was given to members in advance, and says the objection should have been decided beforehand.
He adds this is not a “special operation” by Albania - a nod to Russia’s term for its war in Ukraine - and that it is in line with the committee’s practices.

He shouldn't. He's representing a faction and holding a position like that of a moderator. He cant allow himself to express, especially in a mocking manner, his disgust. He has to be impartial. It is a violation of the code of conduct. And I'm completely against Putin's war. But these roles in these organizations have to be kept impartial at all times. It was not a good moment for him. If he were at a bar Id love it, but not at a UN assembly.

Same way the USA invade countries and still host the UN

[@livingglowstick1337]

Because it's of a very messy set of rules and exceptions that were made forever ago they technically should not have a seat at the UN at all the Soviet Union had one but Russia took it over which they can't they should have had to apply for sovereignty. This also means they should not hold veto powers, the Soviet Union had them but Russia is not the Soviet Union according to themselves.
