ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Russia on Saturday vetoed a French resolution on Syria at the UN Security Council that implied greater coordination in monitoring the situation in Syria.
The Russian envoy to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, urged all sides to restart the Syria peace process, saying it had been “jeopardized” by the radical groups, Russia’s RT news reported.
The French proposal, submitted a week ago, called for “upgraded” coordination of monitoring of the war in Syria. It also urged reactivation of the cessation of hostilities in Aleppo.
A key point of the proposal was a halt to Syrian and Russian bombardment of eastern Aleppo, where Russia and the Syrian regime insist they are targeting terrorist hideouts that have been jeopardizing the cessation of hostilities.
