Russia fails to get U.N. approval for Syria cross-border aid deliveries from Turkey

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Russia failed on Friday in a bid to get the U.N. Security Council to extend authorization of Syria cross-border aid deliveries from two points in Turkey after Moscow vetoed a rival draft resolution that would have also approved a crossing point from Iraq. Russia's draft resolution received 5 votes in favour, 6 against and there were 4 abstentions.
