Russia was not elected to the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

This was announced by Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on the social network X, Ukrinform reports.

"Today marks the 26th round of voting in which Russia failed to be elected to ECOSOC, one of the six main UN bodies. This vote once again demonstrates that Russia can hit the wall as many times as it wants, but the outcome will remain the same: international criminals are not welcome in international bodies," he stressed.

Kuleba noted that Ukraine's commitment to the goals and principles of the UN Charter remains unwavering. "We continue to promote these goals with the continued support of our international partners," the Foreign Minister emphasized.

The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is the main body for coordinating the economic activities of the United Nations and specialized agencies associated with the UN.

As Ukrinform reported, last year Russia lost elections to three UN bodies.
