The UN Security Council postponed the vote on the resolution on the Himatak on Khan Sheikhun

The UN Security Council after discussion postponed the vote on the draft resolution on the chemical attack on the city of Khan-Sheikhun in the Syrian Muhafaz Idlib. It is reported by "Radio Freedom".

The reason was a sharply negative reaction of Russia to a draft document proposed by the United States, Great Britain and France. The resolution decided to finalize; After that, she will be again taken for a discussion. It is possible that it will take place in the coming hours.

The US Permanent Representative to the UN Nickei Haley at the emergency meeting of the Council of People's Commissars on Wednesday, convened at the initiative of France, sharply criticized Russia and China for repeatedly vested resolutions with condemnation of the Syrian dictator Bashar al -Assad. Haley demonstrated photographs of children injured from Himakaki, and emphasized that, "if nothing is done, such blows will continue." Assad has no incentives to stop using chemical weapons while Russia continues to protect its regime from the consequences of such attacks, the US Permanent Representative noted.

“If the UN sequentially demonstrates the inability to fulfill its duty and act collectively, the time is coming for states when they are forced to take actions on their own,” Haley said. What kind of actions are meant, she did not specify.

Criticism of Russia was also made by Britain, Britain Matthew Rayruct. Moscow, he noted, claims that Assad bombed the opposition warehouse on which ammunition with poisonous substances were stored. However, the diplomat emphasized, so far there was no evidence that the Syrian opposition forces have a chemical weapons that could cause such consequences as in Khan-Sheikhun.

Deputy Russian Permanent Representative Vladimir Safronkov, in turn, called Rayruct's statements "absolutely irresponsible, disrespectful and unprofessional." He also insisted that photos and videos from Khan-Sheikhun are an “obvious production”.

As Interfax reported , earlier about falsification of photos and videos said by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova. According to the official, she had a "firm impression of the staging nature of video materials." Zakharova also accused the employees of the White Helmets Humanitarian organization of the fact that they act “extremely unprofessional” in the video presented.

In the draft resolution discussed on Wednesday, the responsibility for Himataku on Khan Sheikhun is assigned to Assad regime . The document requires Damascus to provide opportunities for an international investigation and provide inspectors with access to all the necessary information about the action of aviation.

On Smolenskaya Square, even before the meeting, the project was called unacceptable, stating that "the whole situation is nothing more than a provocation."

The fact that the factory of chemical shells belonging to the opposition was bombed, the Assad regime announced on Tuesday. The next day, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense Igor Konashenkov made a similar statement.

In Damascus, they assured that the blow to the Khan-Sheikhun was inflicted by the Su-22 fighter-bomber (this model is the export version of the Russian SU-17). According to Assad officials, such aircraft cannot carry a chemical weapon.

However, the commander of the rebel formation "Army of the Free Idlib" Hassan Hajj Ali emphasized that there were no military facilities in the territory undergoing an impact, especially the chemical weapon production plant. The rebels have no possibilities to produce such shells at all, Hassan noted.
