Moscow - The Russian Federation issued a statement earlier today, commenting on the crisis unfolding in the Middle East, specifically between Syria and NATO-Member States. In a two hour long press conference, President Vladimir Putin answered questions regarding the position of the Russian government regarding the escalating conflict between NATO and Syria.
When asked regarding the creation, and legality, of the ‘No-Fly’ zone over Syria, President Putin replied that ‘We do not condone the actions of the NATO countries in creating a ‘No-Fly’ zone over Syria. Russia does not condone any forms of violence against civilians, but this is a conflict that must be resolved by involved parties within Syria. Once more, Russia stresses the importance of diplomatic solutions.
