Author of quotes: Nikki Haley

It's not a cease-fire. Is the Assad regime, Iran and Russia continue to wage war against their political opponents.

Waiting for the results of the negotiations, we see that the bombs continue to fall, ten days left to adopt this resolution. How many mothers lost their children? <...> Ten days ago, we could stop this situation. We are talking about the fact that only a few words to change the resolution to make a few comments. The Syrian people should not die waiting for the instructions of the Russian delegation from Moscow or discuss the results with the Syrian side. Why the Council allows this? Then (Thursday - NA) fourteen members of the security Council was ready to ensure a ceasefire, but Russia has undermined the vote. Yesterday (Friday - NA) SAT sat for hours and waited for the vote, but Russia did not agree to vote. Every time SB is waiting for Russia, the Syrian people are suffering. Neither Syria nor Iran, nor Russia, this listen. I would like to know why?

Russia should look in the mirror before you call us to the Security Council to talk about chemical weapons. When Russia doesn't like the facts, she is trying to divert attention from the discussion. When the investigation found that the chemical attacks is ISIS, Russia is acceptable. When there is evidence that chemical weapons used by the Assad regime, Russia tried under any pretext to make a dent in the investigation and to create a smokescreen to challenge his conclusions. So an independent investigation is not carried out. It is unacceptable to question the conclusions that you are not satisfied. Not by chance chemical attack using chlorine this week happened, reportedly, in the very place where the Assad regime is trying to achieve military superiority. Russia is complicit in the atrocities of the regime. Say Russia of today is anything about the suffering caused by the barbaric tactics of al-Assad? They will call Assad to account? Of course not. They never do.

The world witnessed the horrors in Syria, which began with the fact that the bloody regime denied the right of people to peaceful protest. We must not allow that to happen in Iran. If any country tries to prevent the holding of this meeting of the Security Council, it will speak for itself. As well as the Iranian regime is trying to deprive its people the opportunity to be heard.

We can't trust Russia, and we will never trust Russia. But you keep close those who do not trust to follow their actions.

We are ready to use the full range of our capabilities to protect ourselves and our allies. One of our opportunities is that we have powerful armed forces. We can use them if we want, but we'd prefer not to go in that direction.
