GENEVA (Sputnik) — Prior to being interrupted, Borodavkin criticized the special UNHRC session on Aleppo called by the United Kingdom for ignoring the extended humanitarian pause in Aleppo and for aiming to protect terrorists.
"We have to state that both the session and the draft are a part of information war which essentially aims to justify jihadists and their actions," Borodavkin said during the session.
The HRC President repeatedly called on Borodavkin to finish before turning off his microphone without warning.
A "humanitarian pause" was introduced in Aleppo at 08:00 local time (05:00 GMT) on Thursday to ensure the safe evacuation of unarmed militants, and civilians from eastern Aleppo via eight designated corridors. Later, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that Moscow had decided to extend the humanitarian pause in Aleppo for another 24 hours.
