Russia and China have skipped a UN Security Council meeting called to discuss a draft resolution that would impose more sanctions on Syria unless the government gives unrestricted access to deliver aid. The resolution was drafted by Australia, Jordan, and Luxembourg.

The Russian ambassador added that the measure would endanger the Geneva-two negotiations being held in Switzerland. Show Less >>
