Russia condemns Israeli air strikes on Syria
The Russian Foreign Ministry condemns Israeli airstrikes on Syria as violations of the country’s sovereignty and international law.
“The new wave of violence in Syria is deeply concerning,” the ministry says in a statement.
“The Russian side has repeatedly condemned Israel’s arbitrary use of force in Syria,” it adds. “These attacks, which constitute a gross violation of the country’s sovereignty and international law, deserve strong condemnation.”
Russia was a key backer of deposed Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, and for years provided military support to prop up his regime.
