Russia has not yet made a decision on a preferred candidate for the position of UN Secretary-General, said Aleksandr Alimov, deputy foreign minister of the Russian Federation.
Moscow is monitoring the process of nominating new candidates and does not rule out that additional contenders for this post may emerge in the near term.
Russia has not yet selected a preferred candidate for the position of UN Secretary-General, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Alimov. Moscow continues to monitor the nomination process and does not rule out the emergence of new contenders before the election at the end of 2026.
Russia, as a permanent member of the Security Council, has veto power over the approval of a new Secretary-General, which gives it significant influence over the choice of UN leader. The absence of a clear position from Moscow at this stage means that the selection process will remain uncertain until the moment of voting, affecting the global agenda of the organization.
