The organization’s secretariat, “clearly succumbing to Russian threats,” did not fulfill its verification mandate, Washington asserted.
The United States accused UN Secretary General António Guterres of not sending experts to Ukraine to examine the drones used by Russia “under pressure from the Russian Federation”. This was reported by Reuters on December 20.
“We regret that the UN did not take any steps to conduct a normal investigation into this alleged violation … We are disappointed that the Secretariat, clearly succumbing to Russian threats, did not comply with mandate for the investigation given to it by this Council. ,” US Deputy Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood said at a Security Council meeting on Monday.
As you know, the UK, France, Germany, US and Ukraine believe that the supply of Iranian-made drones to Russia violates the UN Security Council resolution of 2015, which fixes the nuclear deal with Iran.
At the same time, Russia has denied that its forces are using Iranian drones in Ukraine, and has argued that UN representatives do not have a mandate to travel to Kyiv to investigate.
It was previously reported that Western countries have increased pressure on the UN, demanding that experts be sent to Ukraine to investigate downed Iranian drones used by the Russian Federation.
