Russian resolution on Syria defeated in UN Security Council
None
A Russian resolution calling for a separation of moderate and extremist forces in Syria but making no mention of a bombing halt in the besieged city of Aleppo has been defeated in the UN Security Council.
The draft, put forward by Russia late Friday, failed to get the minimum nine "yes" votes required.
In Saturday's vote, the draft resolution got four "yes" votes, nine "no" votes and two abstentions.
