When asked whethere he supported the move, France's UN ambassador Francois Delattre replied, "the short answer is no", the Associated Press news agency reported.

Delattre said the current military escalation is "the direct result of the brutal offensive in the north of Syria led by the Syrian regime and its allies."

The French UN representaive added Russia must understand that its support for Syria's President Bashar Assad is "a dead end that could be extremely dangerous."

Hahaha Russia and respecting other countries' sovereignity... They should have thought it before annexing Criema and intervene Ukraine with its proxies. And of course violating Turkey's airspace how chilly they have learned we are not Ukraine.. That's good westerners showed the middle finger to Putin. Actually Russia should be kicked out of UNSC for the good of the world.
