'The U.S. must use every ounce of its influence to block Russian President Vladimir Putin’s crony at the U.N. from assuming the Presidency of the U.N.’s Security Council,' write Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, Richard Blumenthal, Jon Huntsman

The U.S. must use every ounce of its influence—including exercising its rarely-used veto power—to block Russian President Vladimir Putin’s crony at the U.N. from assuming the Presidency of the U.N.’s Security Council and abusing the platform of the U.N. to whitewash Russia’s genocidal war in Ukraine.for President Putin asserting that “There are reasonable grounds to believe that Mr.
