Russia is ready to cooperate in resolving the Yemeni conflict and advancing peace and stability throughout the region, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia told the Security Council on Friday.
"The Russian Federation stands ready to engage in cooperation to settle the conflict in Yemen, as well as further advancement of peace and stability throughout the middle East," Nebenzia said.
"We will continue efforts toward implementation and consultation with all interested sides."
On Thursday, the UN-mediated discussions on Yemen in Sweden between the warring sides resulted in an agreement to cease hostilities and withdraw forces in Al Hudaydah.
The parties agreed to create a UN-chaired monitoring committee in addition to establishing humanitarian corridors to the city of Taiz. The sides also agreed to exchange more than 4,000 war prisoners in late January 2019.
