The United Nations Security Council is unlikely to agree next week on a resolution calling for a cease-fire and access to humanitarian aid in Syria because of Russian opposition, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said.
“I don’t think we will obtain this resolution, unfortunately, because we’re bumping against Russia’s inflexible position,” Juppe said on Europe 1 radio today. “Despite all the efforts we’ve been making for weeks and weeks, the slaughter is continuing.”
