The Kremlin regrets that the UN Security Council has rejected Russia's resolution on Syrian sovereignty, the state-run RIA Novosti news agency reported, citing presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
“In this case only regrets can be expressed due to the fact that the draft resolution was not supported,” Peskov was quoted as saying by the news agency Saturday.
"Russia will continue its consistent, transparent and understandable policy of ensuring stability, territorial integrity and fight with terrorism in Syria," Peskov said, RIA Novosti reported.
The UN Security Council met Friday to discuss the situation on the Turkish-Syrian border. Moscow presented a draft resolution that calls to end cross-border shelling in Syria, in respect to the country’s sovereignty and halt plans for foreign ground invasion into Syria, RIA Novosti reported.
The resolution was rejected by six UN Security Council members, including the three countries with veto power — the United States, Britain and France.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
