[Russian Deputy Foreign Minister: Russia has no intention of withdrawing from the United Nations] Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin stated that despite Russia's criticism of the "weaknesses" in the work of the United Nations, Russia has no intention of withdrawing from the United Nations. Vershinin told Russian journalists at the United Nations: "We have indeed always openly and frankly expressed our views on certain (what we believe to be) weaknesses in the work of the United Nations and other organizations. But we have no intention of withdrawing from these organizations. What is important for us is to find constructive solutions to update - or, in other words, to improve the efficiency of the work of the United Nations and other international organizations." At the same time, it is necessary to reform the work of the United Nations, but the reform must be "progressed cautiously, through mutually respectful consultations, taking into account the opinions of all member states, regardless of their size."
