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. Because I can tell you the Syrian people don’t care about diplomacy. The Syrian people don’t care about any sort of task forces. Syrian people don’t care about any of the things we said today. 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
