Quote: "Today [1 July] marks the 26th round of voting in which Russia failed to be elected to ECOSOC, one of the six main UN bodies.

This vote once again demonstrates that Russia can hit the wall as many times as it wants, but the outcome will remain the same: international criminals are not welcome in international bodies."

For reference: ECOSOC is the principal body for coordinating UN economic activities and its specialised agencies.
