Rejecting the draft, Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said, “Russia is explicitly complying with the six principles proclaimed in the Kremlin on August 12. We and the whole international community need the support of the Security Council.” Churkin accused Western nations of “turning the events on their head by making aggressor (Georgia) the victim and victim the aggressor”, and added that “it (the UNSC) is being distracted by propagandistic ventures. Some members of the Council are taking a position which is misleading”.
He alleged that the new resolution does not mention the history as to how the conflict began with Georgian aggression against South Ossetia.
