Russia objected a proposed United Nations Security Council statement condemning indiscriminate airstrikes by the Syrian regime that killed over 100 people in Aleppo.
The statement, which was tabled by the United States was not moved as all 15 security council members failed to provide their approval.
The spokesman for the US Mission to the United Nations, Kurtis Cooper, expressed disappointment at the failure to release an UN Security council statement, stating,
“The United States is very disappointed that a Security Council statement expressing our collective outrage at the brutal indiscriminate tactics employed by the Syrian regime against civilians has been blocked”
