The atmosphere in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is very anti-Russia, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.

Asked at a news briefing whether Russia would be able to bring objectivity to the work of the UN Security Council during its one-month chairmanship, Peskov said: "This will certainly be very difficult to do in four weeks, given the extremely confrontational atmosphere [towards Russia] in the Security Council."

Russia began its one-month presidency of the UN Security Council on July 1. The last time the country coordinated the work of the global body’s key department was in April 2023.
