Ambassador Vitaly Churkin of Russia, a veto wielding permanent member, said the Sri Lanka situation does not warrant Security Council intervention as mandated by a lot of Really Smart Clever and Cunning Tamil DiASSpora who have been saying that Tamil Eelam is the same situation as Kosovo.
 
Ambassador Churkin went on to say that the UN Security Council as far more important things to discuss than the Braying noises being made by Toilet Scrubber citizens of the European Union and Canada.  He said that Tamil Eelam was not the same as Kosovo, and that even Kosovo was forcefully created by US intervention and meddling in Russia’s back yard.
