Russia has again requested a UN Security Council meeting on NATO’s 1999 aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY), said Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyansky, reported Fonet.

On March 25 Russia sent an official letter to the Japanese presidency, requesting to hold as soon as possible a UN Security Council meeting, devoted to the 25th anniversary of NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia, said Ployansky, the Russian news agency TaSS reported.

He added that the letter was sent to Security Council members, and that an official response from the Japanese presidency is awaited.

“After a day of fierce opposition from our opponents, we got the Japanese presidency to schedule a meeting for 3 pm on March 28,” Polyansky wrote on his Telegram channel, TaSS reported on Wednesday afternoon.


Polyansky earlier said that Western delegations had disrupted on March 25 a UN Security Council meeting about the bombings of Yugoslavia, initiated by Russia. The members failed to approve the agenda as only three Security Council members (Algeria, Russia and China) voted in favor, while 12 abstained. No delegations voted against it, but the agenda was turned down because it did not receive the required nine votes in favor, reported TaSS.
