Syria

UNITED NATIONS, July 9 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Russia have submitted a draft resolution to its 14 UN Security Council partners providing for a six-month extension of the authorization of cross-border aid to Syria, UN and diplomatic sources said.
 
This Russian text — tabled following the formalization of the draft proposed by Ireland and Norway calling for an extension of one year — suggests a “possible prolongation” later, one of the sources said.
