Remarks to the Press by Chargé d'Affaires of the Russian Federation Dmitry Polyanskiy following the UNSC meeting on Yemen
Q.: Can you please comment on Yemen?
A.: First we need to see what the Special Envoy says today. There are a lot of efforts, and we are optimistic. But we have to see what he says first.
Q.: And then you are doing a Syrian meeting this afternoon as well, aren’t you? What can you say about Syria?
A.: Political process in underway. There has been the first meeting of the Constitutional Committee, we are quite optimistic.
Q.: And behind the scenes, there is clearly negotiation about renewal of the cross-border resolution. How is that going?
A.: I have not seen any drafts yet. Maybe there are discussions but not with us.
Q.: Well, they will need to have discussions with you I guess. But Russia is not fundamentally opposed to renewing that, is it? You just want to see it, right?
A.: Devil is in the details, as you know.
Q.: Okay, thank you very much, Ambassador.
