Foreign Ministry denies Russia blocked UN statement on alleged Syria chemical attacks

MOSCOW. Aug 22 (Interfax) - Allegations that Moscow blocked a UN Security Council statement on reported chemical weapons attacks in Syria are "absolutely incorrect," Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

"There is an absolutely incorrect interpretation that we blocked something in the Security Council. Nothing was blocked," the ministry's press department told Interfax.
