“The meeting (of the UN Security Council according to the“ Arria formula ”) will be boycotted not only by Ukraine, but also by the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Estonia and Belgium.

That is, all, except for Russia, the OSCE participating states, which are now members of the Security Council, ”the minister said to Ukrinform.

According to him, the event will also not be broadcast on the official UN resources.

“This is a clear response to Russia's attempts to manipulate international platforms and formats to disseminate its propaganda,” Kuleba added.

In May, Russia's Permanent Mission to the UN reported that Ukraine, Great Britain, the United States and Estonia did not take part in the UN Security Council meeting on the Arria formula, dedicated to the situation in Crimea.
