| “A UN Security Council meeting is to be convened, at the initiative of Russia, at 3 p.m. (19:00 GMT) and will be immediately followed by the second UNSC meeting,” a spokesman for the Russian permanent mission to the UN, Fyodor Strzhizhovsky, said. He added that the Moscow-initiated meeting would be dedicated to threats to international security. | |
