None
The US State Department criticized Russia's decision to transfer S-300 missiles to Syria and called the step "a mistake." State Department Deputy Spokesperson Patrick Ventrell said that the US condemns the continued Russian weapons supply to the regime.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said earlier that the transfer of S-300 missiles is meant to deter the West from military intervention in Syria. (Yitzhak Benhorin, Washington)
