According to the report, the host of the forum and the Russian President’s Special Representative for International Cultural Cooperation Shvedkoy mentioned that day that some Russians believe that UNESCO “has been politicized” and Russia should withdraw from the organization. In response, Putin said, “I don’t think it is necessary to do this. Why? This is a platform for people to communicate and work with each other. We also implement very important projects through UNESCO.”
According to reports, Putin also responded to claims that Russia should withdraw from the United Nations. “Some people say that we should withdraw from the United Nations. This is nonsense.” He said, “Why should we withdraw? The United Nations and other United Nations agencies were established after World War II and determined the outcome of World War II.”
According to the report, Putin also said that international organizations such as the United Nations should adapt to changes in the world. “The situation is changing, and important changes have already taken place. New centers of power and new centers of growth are emerging in the world.” He said that it is necessary to make the United Nations and other international organizations adapt to these changes.
Previously, Russia had also responded to claims about “removing Russia’s status as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.” According to reports from many Russian media such as TASS and Rossiya Gazeta, on September 15, 2022, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova said at a press conference that the cancellation of Russia’s permanent member status on the United Nations Security Council “is a script that It’s impossible to achieve.” She also quipped that it was like winning the “Nobel Prize in Mathematics.”
