National Youth Council of Russia expresses its sincere and deepest condolences following the demise of the Russian diplomat, the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation at the United Nations and the UN Security Council, Vitaly Churkin. Today we mourn with his family, colleagues and friends, sharing their pain.
Vitaly set an example to be emulated when it comes to loyalty and honor, a true professional in his field, who devoted life to serving the country and its people. It is an irreparable loss for the diplomatic community, for our country, for the whole world. Vitaly made an enormous contribution to the development and strengthening of Russian international relations. The bright memory of him will live forever in the hearts of all.
