#Evstigneeva:🇷🇺abstained in the vote on the draft UNSCR prepared by the #UK on the extension of the #Somalia sanctions regime. We regret that the UNSC was once again unable to reach consensus, even though that possibility was well within reach. https://t.co/ny0voqvO8I https://t.co/ZCpArs5kAJ

#Evstigneeva: These provisions have nothing to do with the #Somalia sanctions regime. We regret if their retention in this UNSC document is meant to serve the bilateral goals of certain #UNSC members or is used as a means of putting pressure on those they dislike. @mfa_russia https://t.co/dj8r92QJGn

#Evstigneeva: The security situation in #Somalia remains tense. We call on the government of🇸🇴and African peacekeepers not to cut back on their efforts to combat Al-Shabaab and to continue to focus particular attention on the security of the elections. https://t.co/jezbuk1BAL https://t.co/Ni0Igs9AcZ

#Evstigneeva: Federal Government of #Somalia has managed to demonstrate new successes in forming a sustainable model of federal system. The completion of elections to the Senate was an important milestone.We welcome the fact that🇸🇴managed to reach 26% quota of women in the Senate https://t.co/kOwfpfEi2I

#Evstigneeva: We commend the work of African peacekeeping mission which remains a key element of security in #Somalia. We welcome discussions of Mogadishu with key int actors on parameters of the transfer of responsibility for security from AMISOM to the national army @mfa_russia https://t.co/6ltYHD0Odw

#Polyanskiy: It’s a chronical crisis in #Somalia.🇸🇴 is trying to get together and be reborn as an integral state. We all understand that there are incredible challenges ahead of this country. The int community is not split on🇸🇴. We more or less see it through the same optics. https://t.co/xMxhI6rTWB

#Evstigneeva: 🇸🇴 is advancing on the path of the electoral process. We expect that soon #Somalia will be able to conclude the #electoral process. We call on all Somali authorities to resolve the emerging disputes only through dialogue. https://t.co/NRLalJfZhj https://t.co/QHj7k6lDlJ

#Evstigneeva at #UNSC briefing on the situation in #Somalia: We are convinced that in the current conditions, when terrorist threat persists, it is premature to talk about withdrawal of the AU Peacekeeping Mission. Ensuring sufficient funding of the #AMISOM should be a priority. https://t.co/grJWWtYV9V

#Evstigneeva: We call on the United Nations, the international and regional partners to keep assisting #Somalia while respecting sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of this country without interfering in its internal affairs. https://t.co/N4ry9oY4GF
