Russia gearing up for diplomatic breakthrough at UNGA

Moscow regards the UN General Assembly (UNGA) session opening as one of the ways to facilitate holding the summit for five permanent UN Security Council members suggested by Vladimir Putin. The 75th Anniversary Session of the UN General Assembly is taking place at the end of September (22-26.09 and 29.09).
Following Russia’s expulsion from the G8, the Kremlin has been making
unsuccessful attempts to find an alternative and show that it is returning to normal civilized communication. But Russia does not make steps that would indicate it has refused to violate international law, international conventions and wage the unconventional war against the West and its opponents, amid such attempts.
Russian President Vladimir Putin will talk a lot of hot air at the UNGA meeting, telling the world about international stability and security, while Putin’s Russia is the main threat to the world community, not a guarantor of world security and stability.
The international community, though, has never used a “crash sanctions package” against the Russian Federation, that would commensurate with theinternational crimes committed and would be sufficient to drive the Kremlin toreconsider its foreign policy course. As a result, aggression and war crimes became the usual policy for the Putin regime.
The Russian Federation, having remained the UN Security Council permanent member as the Soviet Union fell, gave disappointment to the world community hopes for maintaining peace and order. Russia’s leaders, neglecting their duties and violating the agreements, trigger conflicts within Europe, as a nuclear power and the UN Security Council permanent member.
The international community turned out to be shiftless and absolutely unprepared for Vladimir Putin’s neo-imperial aggressive policy, who dreams of spheres of influence and the re-establishment for a new Russian empire on the debris of foreign states’ sovereignty.
It has to be noted that Russia does not fulfill its main duty to the world community it assumed under the UN Charter when establishing the organization, and does not guarantee the international peace and security maintenance. The “veto” is used for no purpose other than to cover up its crimes and block important resolutions that could really help to resolve lots of conflicts.
Russia, taking advantage as the UN Security Council permanent member, allows itself to ignore the prescriptions and standards of the UN Charter and resolutions of the organization. Putin is pushing the ideas that the veto is very important in the international system. The Kremlin uses the UN Security Council as a stage to promote its conspiracy theories (MH-17 case, chemical attacks in Syria and Salisbury, Great Britain, the Russian opposition leader Navalny poisoning). The veto makes it possible for the Kremlin to block the UN Security Council investigation in such important things as the Korean Boeing case, shot down in 1983, and the Malaysian Boeing MH-17 case, shot down by the Russian SAM system in 2014. Russia is also blocking the investigation in other war crimes, particularly, the chemical attacks by the Syrian dictator B. Assad against civilians. Thus, Russia is trying to push its own agenda, shielding its war crimes in an efficient way. Moscow seeks to prevent the end for the war in eastern Ukraine, constantly sabotaging the Normandy format at the highest level.
Russia sticks to the classic Soviet behavior pattern: to call for a peaceful agreement and simultaneously intimidate with war. Russian policy adds to breaking the model of interstate relations established after the WWII. This process deepens the polarization of international relations, posing threat to the countries not posessing nuclear weapons or significant military capacity. It negates the role of international law, rejection of the annexation of sovereign states’s territories.
Russia’s expansion has gone far beyond the post-Soviet space, thus speaking for the imperial scale of territorial claims and influence and the desire for global domination.
The Kremlin supports the legitimacy of totalitarian rule all over the world. It relies, simultaneously, on a terrorist component in this process, building a controlled “axis of evil” that ignores democratic principles of development and does not adhere to international legal standards.
Moscow today is practically retracing the path of the Nazi regime in Germany that, violating democratic principles and international standards, also became the trigger for the World War II and one of the largest civilizational tragedies for mankind. Russia’s disregard for democratic standards, both in its foreign and domestic policies, requires decisive measures by the international community to prevent the outbreak of a new world war with disastrous consequences for civilization.
