Russia is consulting with its allies about challenging the US nominee to head the World Bank, Moscow’s top representative at the organization said Tuesday

. The move could complicate what was expected to be a smooth succession process. Russia remains a voting member of the World Bank, although the bank halted all programs in Russia and Belarus last March, citing what it called “hostilities against the people of Ukraine” following Russia’s invasion. Roman Marshavin, the World Bank executive director who represents Russia and Syria, told Reuters the “listing of potential candidates and consultations are still ongoing,” but gave no details.

It quoted Marshavin as saying he was in discussions with other countries about possible candidates including Russian financiers and foreign economists, former heads of international organizations, as well as several ex-ministers of finance and heads of central banks. Marshavin declined to comment on the specifics of the TASS report or which other countries were involved.

Why on earth should world still allow Russia a country being led by a tyrant to still have say in decision that matters to the world? I don't think that the view of Russia in all these matters at all considering what they are doing to innocent people of Ukraine.

I'm glad you acknowledge that they have allies

Russia has allies?

Why should a Terrorist State have any opinions

Why should we even have a World Bank?

We all love Russia

Aren't they supposed to be focusing on BRICS ?
