Russia abstained in the UN security Council on extending cross-border aid to Syria because of dissatisfaction with the process of preparation of the document.
“We abstained in the vote on resolution extending cross-border delivery mechanism of humanitarian aid to Syria, as we are disappointed, as the authors of the resolution carried out the process of harmonization”, — TASS quoted the first zampolpreda of Russia to the UN Dmitry Polyansky.
He noted that Russia proposed to leave open one, the most important checkpoint, while the authors of the resolution argued for two points.
Earlier, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution that extends for a year the work of one checkpoint on the Syrian-Turkish border to deliver humanitarian aid to Syria.
