Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's permanent representative to the UN, said it would continue to provide "energetic" support to both Israelis and Palestinians.
He used his address to call upon a peace process to be facilitated via Egypt and called on America to explain why it made its decision and under what grounds.
Nebenzya said: "Particular attention should be given to the freedom of access to the holy places of Jerusalem."
He added: "Fair and reliable settlement based on the well-known basis of international law."
