President Vladimir Putin criticized as unacceptable on Wednesday attempts to use force in circumvention of the UN Charter.
“Without the support of international law it is impossible to carry out affairs in the modern world. Attempts to replace the universal principles of the UN Charter by unilateral actions or bloc agreements or even more so, use of force in circumvention of the UN without approval, will lead to no good,” Putin said at an presentation ceremony for foreign ambassadors’ credentials.
“Such actions are fraught with destabilization and chaos,” he added.
“Life lately has shown us indications of this,” he said. “It’s time to learn a lesson from this,” he added.
