Poroshenko for Limiting Russia's Right of Veto
President Petro Poroshenko declared that Ukraine supports France's proposal to limit the use of veto by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, Sputnik News reports.
"Ukraine stands for the graduate limitation of the veto right with its further cancellation…I welcome the initiative of my French colleague and friend President [Francois] Hollande supported by president Pena Nieto of Mexico on the political declaration to restrain from veto right among P5 [five permanent] members in case of the mass atrocities," Poroshenko said in his address to the UN General Assembly.
In his speech the Ukrainian leader particularly referred to, as he called, Russia's efforts of "blocking the establishment of an international tribunal to investigate the Malaysian airlines MH17 crash in eastern Ukraine, as well as establishment of a peacekeeping operation in the country".
