The UN will not renew contracts with Russian airlines as part of peacekeeping and political missions.
What is known about the end of UN cooperation with Russian air carriers
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation noted that the contracts of UN structures with Russian air carriers are coming to an end and will not be extended due to the position of the International Civil Aviation Association.
Russian airlines have lost almost all contracts with UN peacekeeping and political missions.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation added that Russian operators are completing their work under old contracts, they will leave the market of air transportation for UN structures in the first quarter of 2024.
The problem of non-renewal of contracts for the provision of aircraft equipment by Russian companies for the needs of the UN is of a systemic nature. After the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) approved the decision on the presence of "serious concern in the field of flight safety" regarding Russia, the UN Secretariat, based exclusively on its own interpretation of the SSC, limited the participation of Russian companies in new tenders for the supply of air services in the interests of the World Organization, - complained the speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova.
How the UN began to refuse cooperation with Russia
Last year, the UN began to purge itself of Russia's pernicious influence. For the first time in history, the organization did not elect Russia to the International Court of Justice of the United Nations.
Also, for the first time in history, Russia was excluded from the UNESCO Executive Board.
In addition, the Russian Federation was expelled from the Council of Europe and the UN Human Rights Council.
