The fact that they can’t get the assistance they need – that’s not lying. What is, is to continue to give Russia a pass for allowing this terrible situation to occur. I will continue to press the Security Council to act, to do something, regardless of if the Russians continue to veto it, because it is our voice that needs to be heard.

They’re just trying to live their very last day.” -Ambassador Nikki Haley By United States Mission to the United Nations | 27 April, 2017 | Topics: Exclude, Highlights | Tags: Archive 2017-2021 Suggested for You Remarks by Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield at a UN Security Council Briefing on the Situation in the Middle East Remarks at a UN Security Council Briefing on Nord Stream Pipeline Attacks Called by Russia
