This week, Russia lost the elections to three UNs, writes Associated Press.

Russia "overwhelming a majority of votes" lost to Romania in the struggle for a place in the commission on the situation of women of the UN Economic and Social Council. She also lost to Estonia membership in the UNISEF Executive Council, and the Czech Republic and Armenia - a chair in the crime prevention and criminal justice commission.

At the same time, Russia was elected to the social development commission through the interclam, which was refused to participate in the United States and Great Britain, saying that Russia's invasion of Ukraine violates international law. In the same simplified way, Russia entered the intergovernmental working group of experts on international accounting and reporting standards.

Since April 1, Russia has been the chairman of the UN Security Council. The head of the European Foreign Department, Josep Borrel, wrote that the status of the chairman is very approaching the date - the Day of Laughter. The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine called it "the worst first -a -April joke in the world."
According to media reports, countries such as the United States, Great Britain and France can lower the level of their representation in the UN Security Council at the duration of the Russian chairmanship, but there is no question of boycott or protest.
The role of the chairman Russia will fulfill the month, after which the chairmanship will move on to Switzerland.
