“It is difficult to fight the feeling that much more effort is spent on arguments about the lack of alternatives to the mechanism of cross-border assistance than on organizing supplies across the line of contact,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Nebenzya added that the Russian side is not opposed to providing assistance to ordinary residents of Syria, "as some delegations will try to present today."

Earlier, Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, said that the UN Security Council had agreed to extend the mechanism for the cross-border delivery of humanitarian aid to Syria, in fact, on the basis of the Russian project.
