The Russian Mission UN
“ Russia doesn’t recognize Israel’s sovereignty over Golan Heights that are part of #Syria.”

Got it.
Had heard it surmised, and it sounds feasible, that in saying what it said, Russia is trying to set a logical trap to blunt the assertions of anyone inclined to criticize Russia for seizing adjacent territory ostensibly for purposes of defensive security. Why are you not objecting to Israel having engaged in the very same activity? or so the argument goes, or would go if Russia were to deploy it. This would tend to explain the timing of Russia’s statement that you are objecting to (coming as it has during a period of active hostilities).
