Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Moscow calls on Washington to refrain from further attacks on the World Health Organization after the U.S. announcement on halting funding to the UN agency.
According to Ryabkov, the WHO is working in full compliance with its charter and is respected in the world among the governments of the majority of countries as well as scientists, medics and epidemiologists, TASS reported.
Russia is calling on the U.S. to "refrain from further attacks on the WHO and pursue a responsible policy, which would not ruin the basis of international cooperation in the medical and biological field, but on the contrary would enhance this cooperation and create a basis for its further development," the senior diplomat concluded.
