“The draft resolution was not adopted because it did not receive a sufficient number of votes,” TASS quoted German Ambassador to the United Nations Christoph Heusgen.

It is noted that “for” four votes were cast, “against” - seven votes, four more abstained.

Earlier, Russia and China again vetoed a resolution of Belgium and Germany in the UN Security Council, which envisages the preservation of two checkpoints on the Syrian-Turkish border for the delivery of humanitarian aid to Syria.
