(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Russia has condemned the new round of European Union sanctions imposed against Syria, describing the move as a “blockade” against Damascus.
On February 4, Russia and China vetoed a Western-backed draft resolution on Syria at the UN Security Council. The two countries rejected the draft as “unbalanced.”
Moscow and Beijing also vetoed a European-drafted UN Security Council resolution against Syria on October 5, 2011.
