Russian official: Reforming UN Security Council without permission of its members is impossible

The United States recognizes that reforming the UN Security Council without the permission of its members and the absolute majority of all countries represented in the world organization is impossible and that any attempt to do so will result in a split in the organization, Russia's First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Dmitry Polyansky, said in an interview with TASS, Report informs.

"These are attempts to disguise wishful thinking. The US understands perfectly well, and admits it in serious interviews, that they have no leverage to carry out Security Council reform without the consent of the Security Council's members, primarily the permanent members, and, in general, the absolute majority of UN members," he said.

So, changing Russia's status in the UN Security Council is impossible without dividing the world organization, which the US is unwilling to do, he added.
