The U.N. has not opened investigations into Russia's use of Iranian drones in Ukraine, which violates U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231, which requires approval for transfer of weapons from Iran.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield speaks before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on her nomination to be the United States Ambassador to the United Nations on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 27, 2021.
"Russia’s and Iran’s actions violate U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231," Thomas-Greenfield said."That resolution prohibits all countries, including permanent members of the Security Council, from transferring these types of weapons from Iran, absent advance Security Council approval. Approval was, of course, not given."
A fragment of a kamikaze drone is seen on the ground in the Shevchenkivskyi district of Kyiv, Ukraine.
