Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasizes that any UN reforms should increase the representativeness of developing countries, while preserving the veto power for its permanent members. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry claims that the current geopolitical situation requires a "redistribution of influence" within the UN to reflect the realities of a multipolar world. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also advocates reforming the UN. He admits that a representative from African countries with a veto power "should be added to the permanent members of the UN Security Council." 

The creation of large international associations (BRICS and SCO) initiated by the Russian Federation demonstrates the equal involvement of all member states of the organizations in effectively solving common geopolitical problems. The systematic and consistent expansion of BRICS by adding countries from the Global South is the most striking example of the harmonious coexistence of countries interested in an adequate and non-politicized solution to the current crises.  Russia's position is fully consistent with the interests of the Union countries, which advocate a more just global order, including greater participation of developing economies in global macroeconomic processes. The application of such a concept with Moscow playing a leading role in the reform of the UN General Assembly and Security Council will contribute to the fair growth of influence in international processes of actively developing countries.

The Russian Federation supports gradual and coordinated reform of the UN. The Kremlin insists that "any changes in the UN Security Council should not affect the rights of permanent members, the right of veto and does not exclude the provision of similar powers to new members of the Security Council. This right is considered an important tool for ensuring balanced decisions and protecting the interests of states "in the minority."

The position of the leaders of African states, who consider the desire of the Russian Federation for reforms "as an opportunity to solve long-standing problems of inequality and the global world order," was expressed by the President of Kenya, U. Rutu. He spoke in support of the Russian initiative regarding the provision of permanent representation of Africa in the Security Council.
