Russia Expresses Outrage Over Yemen Attacks: UN Security Council in Turmoil
Major Assault on Yemeni Territory
In an unprecedented move, the Russian ambassador to the UN Security Council, Vasily Nebenzia, vehemently denounces recent military strikes by the United States and Britain on Houthi-controlled regions in Yemen. Nebenzia asserts that the attacks go beyond targeting a specific group, characterizing them as a “major attack on Yemeni territory.” The use of aircraft, warships, and submarines in the offensive is a key point of contention.
Violation of International Law
Nebenzia argues that the military actions represent a blatant and illegal act of aggression, violating international law. He emphasizes the indiscriminate nature of the strikes, branding them as an assault on the entire Yemeni population. The Russian ambassador expresses concern that such actions could lead to chaos in the Middle East.
