A discussion with Ambassador Bob Rae about Russia’s disinformation at the UN Security Council

On April 1st, the Russian Federation assumed the rotating presidency the United Nations Security Council. This came on the heels of the International Criminal Courts’ decision to issue an arrest warrant against President Vladimir Putin over alleged war crimes committed by Russian troops in Ukraine. Described as “an April Fool’s joke” by Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, the situation was condemned by a large number of diplomats, including by Canada’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Bob Rae.

MIGS hosted  a Twitter Spaces discussion on Moscow’s use of the presidency to spread disinformation about the war in Ukraine.

Speaker:

- Honourable Bob Rae, Permanent Representative of Canada to the United Nations.
