Russia vetoes UN draft resolution on Syria gas attack probe
Russia vetoed a UN draft resolution demanding the Syrian government cooperate with an investigation of a suspected chemical attack.
It was the eighth time that Russia has used its veto power at the UN Security Council to block action directed at its ally in Damascus.
Britain, France and the United States put forward the measure in response to the suspected Sarin gas attack in Khan Sheikhun on April 4 that left nearly 90 dead, including 31 children.
China, another veto-holding power at the council, abstained in the vote, as did Kazakhstan and Ethiopia.
