The UN Security Council is unable to perform its duties fully because of the destructive actions of Russia, according to the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power.

"The frustration at the heart of your question I very much share," she said at a press conference in Kyiv on Thursday when asked if she thinks that Russia will ever lose its veto right in the UN Security Council.

According to the U.S. ambassador, Russia is using the right of veto not only in the matters related to Ukraine, it has used its veto with regards Syria four times, thereby advocating the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian authorities against its own population. It is true that Russia, which is a member of the UN Security Council is not going to allow the Security Council to condemn Russia, Power said.

''Oh, how I wanted to impose its veto on their right of veto,'' she added.

At the same time, the U.S. representative to the UN noted that there have been other mechanisms within the UN and beyond that have held Russia accountable.
