MOSCOW, October 12. /TASS/. France has disregarded Russia’s proposals for the draft resolution on Syria at the UN Security Council, in spite of promises, so as to accuse Russia afterwards of vetoing the document, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.
Speaking at the Russia Calling forum, Putin said, "They have injected this (France-drafted) resolution to the (UN) Security Council, evidently expecting a veto from us."
"The resolution was not injected for being passed, as our position was well-known and our proposals were not even debated with us, but for getting (Russia’s) veto."
