[Russia's UN Representative on Vetoing the Hormuz Strait Resolution: Mr. Ambassador, You Won't Hear an Apology]
Russian Media: Nevedya States Russia Has No Intention of Apologizing for Not Exercising Veto Power on the UN Security Council Draft Resolution on the Hormuz Strait
Russia will not apologize for exercising its veto power against the draft resolution on the Hormuz Strait. This was announced by Vasiliy Nebenzya, Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, during a Security Council meeting.
"Mr. Ambassador, you will not hear any apology from us," the permanent representative said in English to his U.S. counterpart, Mike Waltz.
Previously, it was reported that due to vetoes by Russia and China, the UN Security Council failed to pass a resolution concerning the Hormuz Strait.
At the time, 11 countries voted in favor of the document, two abstained. Russia and China cast opposing votes. As permanent members of the Security Council, their veto powers prevented the passage of the draft resolution.
Nebenzya also emphasized that the document submitted by Bahrain effectively greenlit an aggressive action against Iran.
On April 8, U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran.
