"The resolution will be put for voting in the days to come. It has been practically agreed," he told journalists. "It takes into account all our remarks and proposals, so voting may take place in the next two days."
When asked by TASS whether Russia would support it, the Russian diplomat said, "Yes, we will support it." "It takes into account all of our concerns, primarily, linked with possible use of force against vessels which transport migtants."
