Russia and China blocked UN statement condemning attack on US embassy in Baghdad

Russia and China blocked a United Nations Security Council statement condemning the attack on the US embassy in Baghdad on December 31 of 2019.

“The US mission to the United Nations said 27 countries spoke out against the attack on the Baghdad embassy “in stark contrast to the United Nations Security Council’s silence due to two permanent members – Russia and China – not allowing a statement to proceed”,” Reuters reported on Monday.
