the UN security Council held a debate on the new draft resolution on Aleppo after the failure of two other attempts to accept the document. Moscow called the “uncertain future” of the new document after the debate,
a New draft resolution at Aleppo, prepared by New Zealand, is not quite consistent with the Russian approach. This statement was made by the permanent representative of Russia to the UN Vitaly Churkin after a closed meeting of the UN security Council, where consultations were held on the new draft of the document.
Churkin called the debate on the draft conceptual document and noted that it “identified a number of inconsistencies in the points of view of members of the security Council”. “While the Outlook is unclear. Not even to accept and to carry forward the work [on the document]. Our conceptual is its approach, which this text does not quite match”, — he said (quoted by TASS).
the Agency “RIA Novosti”, which reviewed a new draft resolution notes that the document contains requirements to “completely stop all attacks that can lead to the death of civilians and destruction of civilian infrastructure, in particular, carried out with air in Aleppo”. The draft document also calls for the introduction of 48-hour humanitarian pause, the medical evacuation and return to the political process. Earlier, according to the Agency, Churkin said that Russia is ready to consider the proposed draft resolution and believes the initiative is interesting.
Two previous draft resolution prepared by France and Russia – have failed in the UN security Council. 8 October, Russia has used its veto in the vote on the French draft resolution, and then at the same meeting, was blocked by the Russian draft resolution. Churkin, speaking at the meeting called the vote on the two resolutions in Aleppo “one of the strangest scenes” in the history of the UN security Council.
