Russia warns West against military action in Syria
None
Russia will block any attempt by the West to secure UN support for the use of force against Syria, Russia's foreign minister said Wednesday.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Russia's draft of a UN Security Council resolution on the violence in Syria that circulated Monday was aimed at making it explicitly clear that nothing could justify a foreign military interference. Western diplomats said it fell short of their demand for strong condemnation of Syria's President Bashar Assad's crackdown on civilians, that has left more than 5,000 people dead. (AP)
