In Brief: President Putin’s Address to the United Nations in Top 10 Quotes (Video)

1. The UN: Where the world works toward compromise

Putin outlined Russia’s view of the UN as a body for compromise rather than a body for rubber-stamping a certain “needed” decision, while other states (referring to the US) see that structure as “getting in the way.”

“During the UN’s founding it was not assumed that consensus would rule here. The point of the organization, in essence, consists of finding and working out compromises, and its strength is in taking into account different opinions and points of view.”
