Kremlin, on possible missile delivery to Syria, says Western strike soured

The Kremlin on Monday declined to comment on media reports that Russia planned to soon supply Syria with S-300 missile systems, but said a Western missile strike on Syria had soured the atmosphere in the region.

Russia's daily Kommersant newspaper, citing unnamed military sources, reported earlier on Monday that Russia might start supplying S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems to Syria in the near future.

It said experts believed that Israel would react negatively to the development and might bomb the area where the missile systems would be deployed.
