UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) — Moscow regrets that some UN Security Council members refused to qualify attacks on the Russian embassy in Damascus as terrorist acts, Russian Mission to the United Nations said in a statement.
"We regret to say that some members of the Security Council have again refused to consider the Russian draft under a far-fetched pretext of the lack of evidence on the terrorist nature of the attacks," the statement said on Tuesday. "It was proposed to delete all important provisions of the draft. In these circumstances, the Russian delegation found it pointless to continue work on this document."
