Original: FM Sikorski: "Russia’s status as a permanent member of the UN Security Council is questionable." Russia took the Soviet

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said Russia's status as a permanent member of the UN Security Council is questionable, arguing that Russia took over the Soviet Union's seat without a vote. He contrasted this with the UN's formal 1971 decision recognising the People's Republic of China as China's representative.
