Ukraine calls for Russia to lose UN Security Council seat over invasion

Ukraine's president says Russia should be thrown out of the United Nations Security Council following its invasion of his country. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video message Sunday that the Russian invasion of Ukraine amounts to an act of genocide, saying that "Russia has taken the path of evil and the world should come to depriving it of its UN Security Council seat."

Russia is one of the five permanent members of the Security Council, giving it veto power over resolutions.
