One: I will take this to the Security Council tomorrow morning and address Russia\u2019s actions directly,\u201d Linda 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. And it is wrong, which is why we believe it is time the UN General Assembly vote to suspend them,\u201d Thomas-Greenfield <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USUNSpox\/status\/1510952805611106305\"><span>added<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This announcement was commended by former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cPushing Russia off of the Human Rights Council is the right move.
