"It is the way we prefer, but we have shown that this is the path we will take and are ready to take it again," said US Ambassador the United Nations, Nikki Haley. 

US Ambassador to  United Nations , Nikki Haley, he has warned that Washington will act on their own in Syria if it does not the Security Council of the UN.

"When the international community constantly fails in his performances,  there are times when the United States is forced to take their own measures , " he said the ambassador was quoted by the agency  Reuters .

"It's not the way we prefer, but we have shown that this is the path we will take and are ready to take it again." With these words Haley has addressed the Security Council.

Haley's warning comes as the United States requests the Security Council to demand an immediate cease-fire 30 days in Damascus and Guta Oriental.

Haley has announced a new US-sponsored draft resolution for Syria ceasefire that will not contain any "anti-terrorist loophole". 

The resolution, if adopted, will come into effect immediately and will require a complete cessation of hostilities throughout Syria. It is still unclear how the United States plans to enforce the law to terrorist groups.

East Guta, a hotbed of terrorists

For its part, Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasili Nebenzia, has argued that the anti - terrorist operation carried out by Damascus does not contradict the resolution 2401  adopted  by the Security Council of the UN on 24 February. 

"The government of Syria has every right to seek the removal of security threats to its citizens , " announced Nebenzia.

He has maintained that the Eastern Guta district in Damascus remains a hotbed of terrorists. " It is precisely the relentless attempts by terrorists to disrupt the ceasefire which explains the persistence of the tense situation in Syria , and certainly the most tense region in this sense is Guta Oriental" stated the permanent representative Russia.
