It is the United Nations that determines the format of its events, not Ukraine, said President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, who commented on the upcoming UNSC meeting regarding Ukraine, which will be attended by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Zelensky spoke on Monday in New York, answering journalists' questions during his visit to Staten Island University Hospital, Ukrinform’s own correspondent reports.

"We didn't choose this format," he said. "If the UN believes that a terrorist state should be there, then this is a question to them."
