The Russian mission to the United Nations said that Russia has presented an alternative draft resolution on Syria at the UN Security Council, Sputnik International reported.

Russia has presented an alternative draft resolution on Syria at the UN Security Council, the Russian mission to the United Nations told journalists.

"After the voting on the French draft resolution, an alternative Russian document will be considered," the mission said.

The UN Security Council will vote at 3 p.m. EDT (19:00 GMT) on Saturday on a draft resolution from France that seeks to establish a ceasefire in the Syrian city of Aleppo, Russia’s mission to the United Nations has confirmed.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said on Friday that the French draft contains a number of unacceptable provisions.
