UN vote on Yemen arms embargo
聯(lián)合國就也門武器禁運投票
A UN resolution on the situation in Yemen is scheduled for today. Russia's position is key in the vote on a draft text calling for Houthi rebels to end violence and withdraw from Sanaa.
UN diplomats say the Security Council will vote on a draft resolution that would impose an arms embargo on leaders of Yemen's Shiite Houthi rebels and their key supporters, ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh and his son.
But Russia has insisted on an arms embargo on all parties in the conflict — not just the Houthis and their supporters. Diplomats said Monday it is not clear whether Moscow will abstain or veto the resolution.
