Russia has no need to withdraw from the UN and UNESCO , Russian President Vladimir Putin said unequivocally.

He called the UNESCO projects quite serious.

As for leaving the UN, which “some are talking about”, “this is complete nonsense” . “Russia is the founder of the organization,” the head of state recalled. — Why are we going to leave there?”

At the same time, international organizations created after the Second World War, according to Putin, require changes, since “the situation has changed seriously.” “New centers of power, new centers of growth are emerging and have appeared in the world,” the Russian leader noted. Trends are growing and will change, Putin predicts, and therefore, in accordance with them and the changed world, it is necessary “to adapt international organizations to this,” including “the UN and all other structures.”
