"

We will even lose what is already," said Vladimir Dzhabarov, the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs.

The UN reform declaration was adopted at a high-level meeting, held on the eve of the 72nd session of the General Assembly at the initiative of the United States, the UN news center reports .
