Russia is expelled from the Council of the International Maritime Organization for the next two-year term

Russia was not re-elected to the Council of the International Maritime Organization for 2024-2025. This was announced by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky on the social network X.

 

 

"The Assembly of the International Maritime Organization has just elected a new composition of the IMO Council for 2024-2025. Without Russia," the President said in his post.


In his opinion, "this is a fair decision, because no one has caused more damage to free navigation in recent decades than Russia."


Zelensky thanked the IMO members for this responsible step.
