1/ I am writing this in actual shock. I should not be shocked but I am. Reached out to a girl I worked with in Russia to see if she was ok. Anyone that wants ANY insight into how the average Russian citizen is thinking, you HAVE TO READ these messages from her. Propaganda is the

So something interesting that could be developing at the UN: Ukraine appears to be laying the groundwork to challenge whether the Russian Federation is the legitimate successor to the USSR’s seat and veto on the Security Council
Here’s the ambassador citing the part of the charter that deals with admission of members during his speech at the UN Security Council earlier tonight
And here’s his demand for the documents that show that the Russian Federation was welcomed to the body by the UNSC and General Assembly. Those documents don’t exist as he noted because the UN legal counsel made the call
The UN Charter was never amended after the USSR broke up. It still references the Soviet Union as one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council. The Russian Federation just ascended to that seat after 1991.
So as @p_orchard noted the only other example of a member joining outside the usual method was when the PRC took over China’s seat from the Nationalist government in Taiwan. They did so via a UNGA resolution, which the US was uh not happy about

Now, of course there was one time this process wasn\u2019t really followed- the expulsion of Taiwan (as China) from the UN and the People\u2019s Republic of China both joining the organization and taking its UNSC seat. pic.twitter.com/I2YAknUPKv
