Moscow to Veto Syria Aid Resolution in Current Form
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Russia warned a draft UN resolution on aid access in Syria is aimed at creating grounds for military intervention and will veto the document in its current form, Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said Wednesday, as cited by RIA Novosti.
“It is unacceptable to us in the form in which it is now being prepared, and we, of course, will not let it through,” Gatilov said, commenting on a Western-Arab draft that was debated in the UN Security Council on Tuesday. He described the proposed draft as “politicized.”
