Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated Russia supports expanding permanent UN Security Council membership beyond the current five (Britain, China, France, Russia, US) while maintaining the existing veto power system. Peskov was responding to Erdogan's call to abolish both permanent membership and veto rights.
“At the same time, we believe that the institution of permanent members of the Security Council, as well as the right of veto, are very important elements of the entire structure of the United Nations.”
