Russia has vetoed a US-drafted resolution calling for the renewal of an international inquiry into chemical attacks in Syria. The mandate of the current investigative mission expires on Thursday.
Russia also withdrew its own rival draft resolution on the inquiry renewal shorty before the UN Security Council vote on the US one. The US resolution was supported by 11 members of the Council. Apart from Russia, Bolivia also opposed the document while China and Egypt abstained from voting.
