"The draft is already the outcome of negotiations that I personally led with my colleague [Russian envoy to the UN] Vitaly Churkin. This is already the result," Delattre told reporters before Security Council consultations. "Whether there is still room for compromise, honestly, I don’t think so."
Delattre noted the hard work on the draft "in a good spirit with everybody, including my Russian colleagues." He said that France intended to put the draft to a vote after the consultations regardless of Russia’s objections.
Speaking to the reporters before Delattre, Churkin said the draft was "unworkable" and Russia would oppose it.
