A Russian-drafted call for aid access and civilian protection in Ukraine that does not mention Moscow's role in the crisis failed at the UN Security Council on Wednesday, with only Russia and China voting yes and the remaining 13 members abstaining.
For the resolution to be passed, it should be supported by at least nine members of the UN Security Council out of 15 (five permanent and ten non-permanent) provided that none of permanent members exercises a veto.
Russia drafted the resolution on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine after France and Mexico refused to agree on their variant and submitted it for consideration of the UN Security Council. Belarus, the DPRK and Syria acted as co-authors of the Russian draft.
