#Evstigneeva : We have consistently supported the work of the UN Mission in #SouthSudan and its head, SRSG Haysom. However, we could not agree with a number of proposals [contained in the US-proposed draft resolution] on the expansion of the already complex mandate of #UNMISS .

#Evstigneeva : The Security Council should take into account the efforts of the authorities of #SouthSudan , a country with young state institutions, to advance the political process. It is crucial to support any solution that is acceptable to the South Sudanese themselves.
