United Nations, March 4 (RHC)-- Russia warns that the war raging in Yemen could be far from over due to the obstacles being thrown in the way of its cessation by the Saudi-backed fugitive Yemeni government.  Russia's Ambassador to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin made the remarks on Thursday after a UN Security Council meeting on the crisis.

"We hear that the government does not want to have a ceasefire until there is a comprehensive settlement," he said, adding: "This is a recipe for a very long conflict, which will have even more dramatic results."

Saudi Arabia has been bombing Yemen for nearly a year now.  At least 8,300 people, among them 2,236 children, have been killed and over 16,000 others sustained injuries since the onset of the Saudi invasion.
