Russia’s U.S. Ambassador Anatoly Antonov said the United Nations Security Council is likely to reach a compromise this week on humanitarian aid to Syria, signaling that the UN’s cross-border aid isn’t going to be shut down.
Keeping aid flowing into Syria was a key request that U.S. President Joe Biden made of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin at their summit in Geneva last month. But that will require the two nations and other members of the UN Security Council to reach an accord this week.
