Al-Wahishi expressed the government’s appreciation to Russian position and united position of the international community towards Yemen’s issue and significance of continuing efforts to deter these militia and its supporters and the militia should shoulder responsibility of losing big benefits brought by the truce to citizens in their held-areas.
