United States Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield has criticized yesterday’s veto by Russia of a Security Council resolution on protecting civilians in Sudan. The resolution supported by 14 of the 15 council members, including China, urged the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces to honor their commitments to protect civilians and cease hostilities. Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield said it was unconscionable for Russia to stand in the way of a resolution intended to save lives in the world’s worst humanitarian crisis
