Russia has said the US and UK strikes on Yemen violate international law and wrongly take advantage of the UN Security Council resolution that had demanded the Houthis stop their attacks on shipping lanes.
“The US air strikes on Yemen are another example of the Anglo-Saxons’ perversion of UN Security Council resolutions,” Maria Zakharova, Russia’s foreign ministry spokeswoman, said.
Zakharova said the strikes showed a “complete disregard for international law” and were “escalating the situation in the region”.
