UN Security Council, which was held to discuss the situation in Myanmar, where a brutal massacre, including children, continues, struck a verbal warning.
In the end, there are criticisms of the failure to come up with effective countermeasures to stop Myanmar's military due to the only verbal sanctions.

UN Security Council issued a statement condemning the murder of civilians by the Myanmar military on the 1st of the current time.
In a statement, the UN said, "The members of the Security Council are deeply concerned about the situation in Myanmar and strongly condemn violence against peaceful protesters."
However, the prospect that this time, it is not an effective sanction, but only a verbal warning, the prospect that there will be no pressure on the military is dominant.
The AFP reported that there was a conflict between China and Western countries as the members of the Security Council discussed the statement.
With military sanctions in mind, the United States and Britain tried to put the expression "preparing to consider additional measures," but China is known to have opposed this.
China even insisted on easing expressions such as "civilian death", and Russia is known to have insisted on condemning military and police deaths in the process of repression in a statement.
China and Russia, which have long maintained friendly relations with the Myanmar military, sent high-ranking officials to show off their friendship on the 27th local time in Myanmar on the day of Myanmar Army Day when the worst deaths of 114 people per day occurred.
In Myanmar, at least 43 minors have been counted to have died to this day after the coup, while the UN Security Council has been idling three times in a row with verbal criticism.
