Putin： Some people say that we should quit the United Nations, which is nonsense.

　　[Global Network Report] The 9th St. Petersburg International Cultural Forum was held from November 16th to 18th. According to the Tass news agency, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the plenary session of the forum in St. Petersburg on the 17th local time that it was "nonsense" to say that Russia should withdraw from the United Nations.

　　According to the report, Shvydkoi, the host of the forum and the Russian President’s Special Representative for International Cultural Cooperation, mentioned on the same day that some Russians believed that UNESCO had been politicized and Russia should quit the organization. In response, Putin responded, "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 have also implemented quite important projects through UNESCO. "

　　The report said that Putin also responded to the statement that Russia should withdraw from the United Nations. "Some people say that we should quit the United Nations. This is nonsense. " He said, "Why should we quit? The United Nations and other United Nations agencies were established after the Second World War 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 the changes that have taken place in the world. "The situation is changing, and important changes have taken place. New power centers and new growth centers are emerging in the world. " He said that it is necessary to adapt international organizations such as the United Nations to these changes.

　　Earlier, Russia also responded to the statement that "Russia’s status as a permanent member of the UN Security Council was cancelled". According to a number of Russian media reports, such as the Tass news agency and Russian newspaper, on September 15th, 2022, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zacharova said at a press conference that it was "impossible to realize this script" to cancel Russia’s permanent membership in the UN Security Council. She also sarcastically said that it was like winning the Nobel Prize in Mathematics.
