MOSCOW: Russia said on Friday it backed an unconditional 45-day extension of the UN monitors mission in Syria proposed by Pakistan, rather than Britain's idea to add 30 days to their mandate one last time.
"We will support it since we were involved in drawing up the draft resolution together with our Pakistani colleagues," Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said one day after Russia used its veto together with China to block possible UN Security Council sanctions against its Middle East ally.
