[ワシントン 30日 ロイター] – White House spokesman Jean-Pierre on Wednesday urged Russia to take “professional action” as it assumes the presidency of the United Nations Security Council from next month. He said there was no way to prevent Russia from taking up the post.

“We call on Russia to act professionally. We expect Russia to continue to use its seat on the Security Council to spread disinformation and justify its actions in Ukraine,” he said at a press conference.

“Unfortunately, Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council and there is no viable international legal channel to change that reality,” he said.
