UNITED NATIONS (AN) — Russia and China vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution on Thursday seeking to impose a cease-fire in northwest Syria's Idlib governorate, the last rebel stronghold after more than eight years of war.
The draft resolution offered by Germany, Belgium and Kuwait had called for a cessation of hostilities in Idlib starting on Saturday “to avoid a further deterioration of the already catastrophic humanitarian situation.”
