The UN Security Council resolution calling for the cessation of hostilities in Sudan ignores the "principled comments" of the Sudanese and is not based on any agreements, said Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Anna Evstigneeva.According to Evstigneeva, it was "simply impossible" to reach a consensus in the vote on the proposed document "because the product itself is detached from the reality on the ground and ignores the principled comments of the Sudanese themselves."Russia also calls on "individual members" of the Security Council "to stop hiding behind good intentions to ensure humanitarian access to Sudan," Evstigneeva added.Fierce fighting between the Rapid Support Forces, commanded by Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, and the regular army has been raging in Sudan since April 15 last year.The parties have been exchanging conflicting statements on the success of the fighting and control of facilities and have launched a massive information war in the media and on social media.The International Committee of the Red Cross said more than a year of fighting in the country could lead to disease outbreaks and a deadly collapse of the health system.According to the UN's International Organization for Migration, the number of internally displaced people in Sudan has surpassed 10 million, while civil society groups say more than 150,000 Sudanese have been killed in the ongoing conflict.

Russian UN Delegation on Security Council Resolution on Sudan: Document Detached From Reality

On Thursday, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution introduced by the UK, which, inter alia, calls on the Rapid Support Force (RSF) to end the siege of the city of El Fasher in western Sudan, calls for an end to fighting in the city. Fourteen countries voted in favor of the resolution, while Russia abstained.
The UN Security Council resolution calling for the cessation of
hostilities in Sudan ignores the "principled comments" of the Sudanese and is not based on any agreements, said
Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Anna Evstigneeva.
According to Evstigneeva, it was "simply impossible" to reach a consensus in the vote on the proposed document "because the product itself is detached from the reality on the ground and ignores the principled comments of the Sudanese themselves."
"The current resolution also contains no substantive proposals to address the complex situation in Sudan. The document clearly does not take into account the opinion of the Sudanese side and is not based on any agreements reached," she said at the UNSC meeting.
Russia also calls on "individual members" of the Security Council "to stop hiding behind
good intentions to ensure humanitarian access to Sudan," Evstigneeva added.
Fierce fighting between the Rapid Support Forces, commanded by Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, and the regular army has been raging in Sudan since April 15 last year.
The parties have been exchanging conflicting statements on the success of the fighting and control of facilities and have launched a massive information war in the media and on social media.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said more than a year of fighting in the country could lead to disease outbreaks and a deadly collapse of the health system.
According to the UN's International Organization for Migration, the number of internally
displaced people in Sudan has surpassed 10 million, while civil society groups say more than 150,000 Sudanese have been killed in the ongoing conflict.
