Finnish President Alexander Stubb called for a reform of the United Nations during a UN address today, September 25th, stating that member states violate international law with impunity and initiate wars. Stubb advocated for the suspension of voting rights for any UN Security Council member found to be in violation of the UN Charter, arguing that "war is always a failure of humanity" and that no single state should possess veto power. Stubb's remarks, delivered at the UN, come amidst ongoing international tensions and reflect growing criticism of the organization's effectiveness in preventing conflict. The Finnish President emphasized that if a member of the Security Council breaches the UN Charter, its voting rights should be revoked. This call for reform highlights concerns regarding the UN's ability to enforce international law and maintain peace. In parallel developments, a statement from USNATO on September 25th asserted that "only a unified effort to cut off the revenues funding Putin’s war machine will apply sufficient economic pressure to end the killing." Separately, reports from September 25th detailed a Russian Lada Largus vehicle in its "Comfort" configuration being sold for 1.8 million rubles, which allegedly lacks features such as a radio, climate control, steering wheel, seats, and speakers, instead containing only two airbags, air conditioning, and ABS. Previous reports from September 25th indicated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with a bipartisan U.S. Congressional delegation in Kyiv to discuss the war effort and weapon needs. The Ukrainian Air Force claimed to have shot down a Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber near Zaporizhzhia around 04:00 on September 25th, a claim corroborated by a Russian milblogger. Overnight, Ukrainian forces also targeted two An-26 aircraft and radar systems at Kacha airbase in Crimea. Poland is also reportedly revising military deployment laws to allow its forces to intercept Russian objects over Ukraine without prior NATO or EU approval.
