Lavrov: Decisive battle now in Syria
Russia on Wednesday said a decisive battle was in progress in Syria and rejected a Western-backed U.N. resolution on the crisis that would allow military intervention.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said: "A decisive battle is in progress in Syria. Adopting the resolution would mean outright support of a revolutionary movement. And if we are talking about a revolution then the United Nations has nothing to do with it."
