Russia circulates its own UN resolution on Aleppo – diplomats

NEW YORK: -- Diplomats in New York say Russia is circulating its own UN resolution on the Aleppo crisis.

 

It comes after a day of intense diplomatic activity at the organisation’s headquarters in New York.
 

Earlier, UN Security Council veto power Russia said it could not allow a French-drafted resolution on Aleppo to be adopted.

 

The initial draft document was aimed at ensuring that UN officials can monitor evacuations from besieged parts of the Syrian city and the protection of civilians who remain.

 

“We cannot support it,” Russia’s UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin told reporters in New York, “we cannot allow it to pass because it is a disaster.”

 

“But there could be another thing which could be adopted today by the Security Council which would accomplish the same goals,” Churkin added without elaborating.

 

Russia is an ally of Damascus that has provided military backing to the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s troops.

 

It has vetoed six Security Council resolutions on Syria since the conflict started in 2011.

 

China has joined Moscow in vetoing five.
 

UN Security Council meeting

 

The UN Security Council has met to vote on whether to send observers to Aleppo.

A resolution that would allow UN officials to monitor evacuations from the besieged parts of the Syrian city is being considered by a meeting in New York on Sunday.

 

What is the resolution aimed at?

The Russians, Have stepped up for there allies in Syria. They have shown to be a true friend of the Syrian Government.

You cannot say this for the Americans, French and English; who tried to help the Rebels, by dropping bombs on Government troops, and then stop the support. The Russians have been there from start to finish.

Right or wrong, this is the measure of  a true friend.

True friend?  Russia is in this for power and money.  They don't care about Assad and have said so in the past.  With friends like Russia, who needs enemies? LOL

Last time I looked, he was defending the Government of Syria. And he was asked to do it !  The rebels go into a city for of people, hiding behind women and children.

Sad.

Talk about Russia, USA, China, UK. all have blood on hands. But Russia is the only country who came to the Syrian Government aid, when in need.

And for good reasons.  Russia is making billions there.  Protecting their naval base.  And keeping the gas pipeline from completing.  Oh...and killing thousands and thousands of innocent civilians.

Not innocent if they are protecting rebels against the government. Rebels hiding in with civilians. They could have left a year ago.  But the rebels were winning. Now the rebels are losing and we should cry for them. No Chance.

They made their bed, let them sleep in the children's blood. Shame on them.

Right.  Those children killed were some bad terrorists. LOL  Doing their job protecting the rebels.  Bad children.

By mid-December 2016, the opposition activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported the number of children killed in the conflict had risen to 15,948, while at the same time 10,540 women were also killed

 

Blame lies at the top.  No arguing that.  And Assad is (or was) president of Syria.  Or what's left of it.

What I mean is the parents had the choice to stay or go over a year ago. They chose to stay, and kept their kids with them.

But one year ago the rebels were winning.
