Moscow regrets that EU countries and the United States did not support the statement initiated by Russia in the U.N. Human Rights Council for putting an end to the violence in Syria, the Foreign Ministry said on Saturday, June 21. “On June 20, a statement was made in the U.N. Human Rights Council on Russia’s initiative in support of local reconciliations in Syria. This document was supported by 15 countries: Algeria, Armenia, Belarus, China, Cuba, Ecuador, India, Iraq, Iran, Kazakhstan, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Tajikistan, South Africa, and Venezuela,” the ministry said.
