During a meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation concerning Yemen, Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia criticized the US' and UK's strikes in the Red Sea, denouncing them as "pointless." The envoy noted that Russia regards these actions as condemnable.

"[We] condemn the strikes by the US- and UK-led coalition targeting the sovereign territory of Yemen. This aggression is being perpetrated in violation of the UN Charter. It is pointless insofar as it cannot stop the attacks in the Red Sea," Nebenzia said.

These "reckless instances" of the use of force by NATO member-states leave behind a stain of blood, he said.

Yemen, among the most impoverished and food-insecure countries in the world due to years of sanctions and Western-backed aggression, has been actively engaged in blockading the Israeli economy by preventing ships from reaching the occupied territories.

The purpose in doing so is to pressure the Israeli regime to halt its genocidal campaign against the people of Gaza. Following Yemeni actions, allies of "Israel," namely the US and the UK, formed a naval coalition to counter Yemeni operations and reopen sea routes to the occupied territories.

UN experts have previously acknowledged that acts of genocide are being committed in Gaza. The ICC has filed applications for warrants of arrest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Security Minister Yoav Gallant. 

Last month, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced the "fourth phase of escalation" targeting Israeli and Israeli-linked ships in international waters. The range of operations has now come to include ships transiting the Mediterranean Sea. Earlier this month, the YAF fired seven cruise missiles and four attack drones at the USS Eisenhower.

On June 7, United Nations spokesperson Stephane Dujarric announced that Ansar Allah had arrested 11 UN personnel found to be spies associated with the US Central Intelligence Agency. They were accused of conducting intelligence and sabotage activities in Yemen.
