Georgian anger at Russia veto of UN monitors

Georgia Materials 17 June 2009 01:37 (UTC +04:00)

Georgia lashed out at Russia on Tuesday for vetoing a resolution to extend UN monitors' mandate in breakaway Abkhazia, saying Moscow did not want "witnesses" in the region, Financial Times reported.

Russia quashed a Western-proposed resolution at the UN Security Council late on Monday designed to buy time to negotiate a long-term plan for the 16-year-old monitoring mission in the Black Sea rebel region.
