DISINFO: Accusations by Western countries claiming that Moscow is hindering humanitarian aid to Syria are untrue
SUMMARY
Accusations by Western countries claiming that Moscow is hindering the deliveries of humanitarian aid to Syria are untrue.
RESPONSE
Russia has twice vetoed United Nations Security Council resolutions, in October and December, that demanded an immediate end to air strikes and military flights over Syria's Aleppo city and called for a truce and humanitarian aid access throughout Syria . The EU through Federica Mogherini is working with the UN to call on the Russian and Syrian authorities to protect civilians so that the UN can complete the delivery of humanitarian aid. On December 19, the UNSC (including Russia) passed a resolution sending observers to Aleppo.
