ussia is working with the UN Security Council on a document that would enforce stricter implementation of Resolution 2199, which aims to curb illegal oil trade with and by terrorist groups, Russian ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin told RIA Novosti.
The draft resolution intends to quash the financing of terrorist groups, including Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) extremists.
“We are not happy with the way Resolution 2199, which was our initiative, is controlled and implemented. We want to toughen the whole procedure,†Churkin said. “We are already discussing the text with some colleagues and I must say that so far there is not a lot of contention being expressed.â€
US Ambassador Samantha Power said that America has “a shared objective†with Russia on this, since it is also working towards bringing the financing of terrorism to a halt.
The new document is a follow-up to Russian-sponsored Resolution 2199, which was adopted by the UN on February 12 to put a stop to illicit oil deals with terrorist structures using the UN Security Council’s sanctions toolkit.

“Erdogan’s got to be realistic there if he wants to stay in power, and, of course, he’s continuing to move Turkey towards an Islamic state. There’s going to be more protests in Turkey, so he’s going to have a lot of problems. But they’ve got to move to shut down Turkey from supporting ISIS, and these cross-border oil deals that are going on with the black-marketeers,†Vallely said.
Since when and what concrete actions have we taken besides dropping leaflets on them?
I bet the Russians won’t drop fliers warning the drivers to flee 45 minutes before bombing their tanker trucks.
Cluster munitions or unexpected FAEs would be more like it.
Since 45 minutes after the warning to vacate, that’s when!
HOORAY Russia
