La Russia ieri non ha messo il veto, ma ha chiesto una modifica al documento Onu su incidente chimico ad IDLIB

di

A differenza di quanto hanno detto i media, la Russia ieri era disposta a firmare il documento ONU . Ma lo avrebbe fatto con alcune modifiche . Innanzitutto la richiesta era di eliminare il preambolo e modificarlo a partire dai fatti.

Saecondo l’ambasciatore russo Safronikov, era necessario nel preambolo specificare la preoccupazione del Consiglio di Sicurezza per le notizie di “massiccia perdita di vite umane a causa di avvelenamento chimico a Khan Shaykhun”. Lì, ha aggiunto il diplomatico,  bisognava segnalare la necessità di “condurre un’indagine completa per determinare le” circostanze dell’incidente e determinare chi fosse stato il responsabile e “condannare l’uso di armi chimiche da parte di chiunque fosse stato.”

La Russia ha chiesto anche l’inserimento del requisito esplicito che la commissione fosse neutrale e geograficamente equilibrata.
L’ambasciatore russo all’ONU Safronkov ha posto inoltre alcuni altri requisiti necessari per firmare il documento: “individuare i gruppi armati illegali nel controllo della zona dell’incidente, fornire un accesso completo e sicuro per la zona e gli investigatori le informazioni di cui hanno bisogno,” –

Inoltre i “caschi bianchi” sono inclusi nella testimonianza come fonti e questo non è accettato dalla Russia e – a suo giudizio – irricevibile.

Safronkov ha detto che la sfida principale di fronte al Consiglio di sicurezza, è al momento –  “oggettivamente capire cosa è successo” e non dare per scontato “il messaggio falsificato” dell’organizzazione non governativa, “Caschi Bianchi” e il SOHR “. Secondo lui, “queste strutture, sono completamente screditate a sé stesse”, e “non possono essere citate nelle decisioni dell’ONU”
