The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that during the voting in the Security Council (Satma) United Nations Afghanistan, United Kingdom and France created a cealote when coordinating documents. It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country Maria Zakharov,
According to the diplomat, Russia has made a significant contribution to the document so that it “answers the relevant tasks of Afghan settlement.” However, Moscow, together with Beijing, were forced to refrain from voting. “There is every reason to believe that Washington, London and Paris managed to” rip out “text in a narrow format, only at the last moment submitting it to the council”, “said Zakharov.
The Russian side was disappointed due to the need for a forced consideration of resolution with edits. The postprared of the Russian Federation under the UN Vasily Neknazva complained that the document did not take into account the “A number of concerns of Moscow”. The text does not mention the need to fight the “Islamic state” (the terrorist organization prohibited in Russia) does not reflect “inadmissibility of negative consequences of evacuation” of qualified specialists from Afghanistan. Also, the Document does not mention the thesis on the harmful effect of freezing financial assets on the economic and humanitarian situation in the country.
Previously, the UN Security Council decided not to introduce peacekeepers to Afghanistan. “Currently, the UN Security Council is not discussed about sending the UN peacekeeping mission to Afghanistan and, in particular, to Kabul,” said the Council.
