Russia opposed on Wednesday a new U.N. Security Council resolution on the humanitarian plight in Syria as Western and Arab nations prepared to push for a better access to aid in the war-torn country.

“We are against moving to a resolution now in the Security Council,” Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin told reporters at Russia’s U.N. Mission.

Churkin added: “We believe that it’s a wrong move. It’s not a good time to have any resolution discussed in the Security Council.”

About 9.3 million Syrians need help, according to the United Nations. U.N. aid chief Valerie Amos has also repeatedly expressed frustration that violence and red tape have slowed the delivery of humanitarian assistance to a trickle.

For almost a year, Western members of the 15-member Security Council have been considering a resolution on aid. After months of talks, the council eventually made a non-binding statement on Oct. 2 urging more access to aid.

But the statement produced only a little administrative progress, such as visas for aid workers and clearance for convoys.

Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...
