Moscow has accepted Belgrade’s rationalization for mistakenly voting in favor of an anti-Russian decision on Ukraine on the UN on Monday, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov has stated. Serbia has had historically shut ties with Russia.
Peskov was responding to questions on Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic’s apology for the error, attributing it to being “drained and overwhelmed.”
“We’ve definitely heard [the explanation] and positively accepted it. Certainly, technical errors occur. And naturally, we recognize such a immediate response from the top of state,” Peskov informed reporters on Tuesday.
Two competing resolutions on Ukraine had been submitted to mark the third yr of the battle, one initiated by Kiev and its EU backers, which condemned Russia.
The opposite, US-backed textual content, which prevented branding Russia as an aggressor and known as for a “swift finish” to the battle, was later tabled on the UN Safety Council, the place it handed with 10 votes in favor, with backing from Moscow and Washington and 5 abstentions from European members.
“It’s clear {that a} militarizing Europe is the one participant internationally which needs the warfare to proceed,” Russia’s United Nations consultant Vassily Nebenzia stated on Monday. The envoy acknowledged constructive shifts within the US place on the Ukraine battle and described the decision as the primary try to introduce a forward-looking, pragmatic UN Safety Council doc.
