Original reports

Germany failed to secure a rotating seat on the UN Security Council, losing to Portugal and Austria. Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul attributed the loss to Germany's firm stance on Ukraine and Israel, as well as a late entry into the race. Russia was accused of lobbying against Germany's bid, though it has not responded to the claims.
