JAKARTA - Russia and China vetoed the UN Security Council (DK) resolution draft designed by the US, which it deemed not explicitly demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.

Eleven UN DK members supported the resolution, three rejected and one abstained.

As reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Friday, March 22, the draft "expressed the importance of an immediate and sustainable ceasefire" but did not explicitly demand it.

The draft also "supports firmly the ongoing international diplomatic efforts" to ensure a ceasefire that allows the release of all citizens who are still held hostage.

In addition, the draft condemns all acts of terrorism", including the attack of the Palestinian resistance group Hamas on October 7, 2023.

Russia criticized the draft resolution for its failure to demand a firm ceasefire in Gaza.

The Russian representative at the United Nations said Thursday that the draft contained "all past distortions and "unacceptable unilateral criticism", representing "American standard fraud".
