MOSCOW, July 1. /TASS/. Moscow never received an adequate response from the UN regarding its appeals concerning Kiev’s strike on a college in Starobelsk, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Alimov said.
Earlier, the Russian side handed over to representatives of the global organization photo and video materials from the scene of the attack, as well as additional documents requested by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
"No, we haven’t received [a response]," Alimov noted in a commentary to the Izvestia daily. "To date, all letters we have received from the Secretary-General have, unfortunately, been very disappointing as they contained no substantive answers," he said.
