Nebenzia: The mechanism for transporting aid across the border into Syria has exhausted its capabilities

New York(ST): Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, confirmed that the mechanism for transporting humanitarian aid to Syria across the borders has exhausted its capabilities and is being used for other purposes not related to the humanitarian situation.

Russia Today channel quoted Nebenzia as saying during a session of the Security Council on political and humanitarian affairs in Syria: “The situation appears as if the statements granted by the Syrian government to use two additional crossing points within 3 months have reduced to zero the desire of the United Nations to lift restrictions on the transfer of aid across the line of contact.” “.

Nebenzia added: We would like to emphasize that if our Western colleagues in the UN Security Council continue to act as if nothing had happened and ignore the thwarting of the implementation of the Security Council resolution by international terrorists, we will draw the required conclusions from the current situation while formulating our position on extending the aid transfer mechanism through borders planned for next July.
