OREANDA-NEWS The United Nations certainly needs to be modernized, said Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council.

"We must frankly admit that the system built on the experience of 80 years ago is, of course, far from always being able to recognize and respond in a timely manner to all manifestations of hostility, the outbreak of hybrid wars, color revolutions, and the inculcation of hatred between peoples. And in this sense, the United Nations certainly needs to be modernized," Medvedev said at a plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum.

The XIII St. Petersburg International Legal Forum is taking place from May 19 to 21 in St. Petersburg. RIA Novosti is the general information partner of SPIEF-2025.
