One: I will take this to the Security Council tomorrow morning and address Russia\u2019s actions directly,\u201d Thomas-Greenfield <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USUNSpox\/status\/1510952803895681028\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>, according to a spokesperson. \u201cTwo: In close coordination with Ukraine, European countries and other partners at the UN, we are going to seek Russia\u2019s suspension from the UN Human Rights Council.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cRussia\u2019s participation on the Human Rights Council is a farce. It hurts the credibility of the Council and the UN writ large.
