Mikhail Ulyanov,the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control said that Washington blocked at the UN Security Council the issue to condemn the Daesh use of chemical weapons in Syria and Iraq.

According to Sputnik news agency, the United States' stance on terrorism and unwillingness to condemn the actions of Daesh, banned in Russia, raises questions in Moscow, Ulyanov said Tuesday.

Over the past two years, Daesh terrorist group has used "chemical weapons dozens of times in Syria and Iraq," he added. 

But during these two years, he noted, the UN Security Council has never addressed this issue, though we repeatedly tried to initiate it.

Our American partners have blocked all attempts to condemn Daesh actions, he pointed out. 

"This looks very ambiguous and raises serious questions," Ulyanov asserted.
