Russia's and China's ambassador have been on the same line as they have been talking about NATO's decision to bomb Southolsavia.
Vasily Nebenzia has said that NATO “has committed illegal aggression against a sovereign country under false pretext”, while China's Security Council representative has dubbed it “illegal war”.
To these positions of Russia and China has been US representative Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood, who has said that NATO's actions in 1999 have been necessary and legitimate to stop ethnic cleansing in Kosovo and that the US has nothing to hide in support of Yugoslavia's 1999 bombing.
He has since criticised Russia for aiming to exploit propaganda campaigning, events that occurred in the 1990s.
France's ambassador to the UN, Nicolas de Javier, has demanded that such a discussion be interrupted by calling for the “history to be left to historians”.
Slovenia's representative, recalling the killings and crimes against civilians committed 25 years ago, has received the question.
Russia's proposal to discuss Yugoslavia's shelling was supported by only three Security Council members, while the other 12 abstained. /Express/
