The US delegation at the UN Security Council has blocked a Russian declaration for Libya containing urges to settle the conflict in Beni-Walid, Russian representative to the UN Vitaly Churkin said, RIA Novosti reports.
The Libyan city controlled by supporters of the country’s former leader Muammar Gaddafi had clashed with the new government last week. Gaddafi’s son Hamis was killed during the shootout.
Churkin emphasized that the US had blocked the declaration even though its citizens had been killed in the conflict.
