WASHINGTON, Reuters, October 24, 2017  - The United States is “very disappointed” that Russia on Tuesday cast a veto at the United NationsSecurity Council against renewing a mandate to continue an investigation into who was responsible for the use of chemical weapons during Syria’s civil war.
“We are disappointed, we are very disappointed that Russia put what it considered to be political considerations over the Syrian people who were so brutally murdered,” State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told a regular briefing.
