Russia is set to back up Palestine and its bid for statehood in the United Nations Security Council. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov believes a UN statehood resolution could spark a renewal of negotiations between Israel and Palestine.

Bognadov was quoted in the Moscow Times saying Russia is prepared to support Palestine if the resolution will be put to a vote. He said Russia's position on Palestine's proposed statehood reflects the view of many European countries. Bognadov mentioned Sweden that recognised Palestine as a state while Spain and Britain had passed resolutions stating the same.
According to international media, Bognadov said both Israel and the United States have made attempts to prevent the Palestinian Authority to submit the resolution for statehood to the UN. The Russian official pointed out the U.S. might possibly block the resolution if it came to a vote. He said the Palestinians are planning to appeal to various international bodies, including the International Criminal Court if the U.S. will veto the statehood resolution.
According to the Palestinian Authority, 134 countries have so far recognised Palestine as a state including Russia while France is expected to vote on the matter days from now. Palestine's draft resolution is calling for an end to Israel's occupation of East Jerusalem and other Palestinian authorities
