The UN Security Council still cannot agree on specific measures to stop the bloodshed in the Middle East, undermining the prestige of the world organization and raising the risk of triggering a major regional war. This was stated by the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergei Vershinin, in a press conference after the participation of the Russian delegation in the high-level week of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.
“Unfortunately, the fact that the UN Security Council has not been able and still cannot, due to the position of the United States, to take measures that will end the current bloodshed and stop the violence is very regrettable and indeed undermines prestige. of the UN today,” he noted. “In general, we are essentially in balance at some level of transition to a large-scale regional war, because everyone knows which countries and what forces are being drawn into this conflict in the Middle East today,” TASS reports.
