Germany has failed to win a temporary seat on the UN Security Council for the first time in modern history, losing a General Assembly vote to Austria and Portugal. Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul called the outcome “a real disappointment” and blamed Russia for the loss. “There is our firm support for Ukraine; the fact that Russia does not want such a voice at the Security Council,” he told reporters after the news broke. Portugal won 134 votes and Austria 131 in the contest for two seats allocated to the Western Europe and Others group, while Germany received only 104 votes in a secret ballot on Wednesday. Zimbabwe and Trinidad and Tobago were elected unopposed to seats reserved for Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean, respectively.

Correct. They lost their countries (Germany, France, UK et al) and will fade into obscurity ... or will be eliminated.
