Russia will not support any arms embargo on Syria, Russia’s envoy to the UN Vitaly Churkin said on Wednesday, RIA Novosti reports.
“How can we say that we will tear up all of our contracts, sever all our ties with Syria?” he asked rhetorically.
“We will not agree to any embargo, not even so much as a hint of an embargo.”
His remarks echo those made by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday.
