NEW YORK - Russia cancelled a UN Security Council vote on a"humanitarian" resolution on Ukraine, scheduled for Friday , due to a lack of support from its closest allies, diplomats said.
Russia's ambassador to the UN, Mr Vassily Nebenzia, later confirmed during a council meeting on Ukraine that the vote would not happen.Russia, however, had hoped that some votes in favour would have shown it still has some support on the world stage following its all-out assault on Ukraine. Russia filed the draft resolution Tuesday on the"deteriorating humanitarian situation in Ukraine" and requested a vote for the following day."This week, perversely, Russia tabled a resolution that, among other things, called for the protection of civilians, including women and children," said British ambassador to the UN Barbara Woodward.
