Nuclear threat. Why it is important to abolish the right of veto in the UN and the EU

Back in 2014, after the annexation of the Ukrainian Crimea, and the Russian attack on eastern Ukraine, after the "disquietude" and "concern" of our partners, it became apparent to me that this is the end of the "new just world" paradigm. A paradigm which is based on the respect for laws, rules, the recognition of freedom and human life as the highest values ​​of the free world.

At the heart of this crisis lies the helplessness, the inability of the UN to fulfil its most important task – peacekeeping.

As a person with a good historical education, I can easily identify the exact reason for this – it is the abuse of rights, and first of all the right of veto.

The veto, which was a compromise in the creation of organisations such as the UN, labelled as a way to prevent the conspiracy of all against one, has become an instrument of aggression by one against all. It has become the instrument of the absolute evil, with oil and gas, the complete absence of any morality, with an indoctrinated population - evil that seeks to bring everyone, even those across the oceans, to their knees.

Today, the world has received direct threats of the evil’s use of nuclear weapons. In my opinion, this should finally open the eyes of people who believe that the killing of Ukrainians is one thing, and the killing of EU citizens or residents of other NATO member countries is completely different.

I believe that today's votes for the reform of the UN, which we hear from world leaders, are a continuation of our calls to take the veto power away from the aggressor. And the efforts of the European Union to get rid of consensus, as a mandatory condition for making all decisions in favour of voting by the majority of countries, are a direct result of the realisation of the worst consequences of using the veto.

During the dozens of meetings before submitting Ukraine's application for EU membership, I defended the necessity of this refusal in face-to-face conversations with presidents and prime ministers, in public speeches in European parliaments.

We definitely have to take a new step to create a new world. And this step is the refusal of the right of veto in the UN and the EU.

Of course, for this to materialise, Russia has to vote for this in the UN or Hungary in the EU. We are witnessing a closed circle... But this directly means something else - countries that do not agree with evil must then leave the old, incapable of stopping the war, organisations such as the UN and create new ones.

This is a time for effective and decisive changes, a time to turn the page of history, a time to review and renew all principles and previously given oaths.

It is also necessary to recognise the honesty and justice of the collective force of the aggressor to peace.

NATO troops can become peacekeepers in Ukraine, as NATO is an association of countries that do not question the highest value of human rights and life.

Unfortunately, only people with the citizenship of NATO member countries have such a right to peace and life, and to a peaceful life. Is this justice?

But, I’ll repeat myself, we have to start from somewhere. I believe that after the direct threats to the world, heard from a nuclear dictator, responsible leaders should immediately begin consultations on depriving Russia of its veto power and beginning to force into peace the one who brings evil and death to the entire civilised world.
