Overseas network April 14? According to reports from Russia today, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a statement on the US, Britain and France air strikes against Syria on 14 local time, saying that the air strikes against Syria by the US-led countries were not authorized by the UN Security Council and violated international law. Russia will call on the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting on the Syrian attack.
On the night of 13 local time, Trump announced that the US military and Britain and France launched air strikes against Syrian military facilities as a response to the "chemical weapons attack" in the Dongguta area of Syria.
Not long ago, Russian Duma officials said that Russia strongly opposed the military strikes launched by the United States, Britain and France, and as a nuclear power, Russia would not sit idly by. Because this is not only a serious violation of international norms, but also a naked violation of a sovereign country and a direct threat to Russia's security.
Alexander Schelling, the first vice chairman of the Russian Duma National Defense Committee, said that the US military strike against Syria violated international law and was an "invasion" of Russia. Russian ambassador to the United States Antonov issued a statement saying that this act will have serious consequences, and the three countries will ignore Russia's warning, which will seriously threaten Russia's security. The Russian ambassador to the United States also said that the United States, Britain and France should bear full responsibility for this. "The United States is the largest possessor of chemical weapons in the world, and the United States has no right to blame other countries for this."
As for Syria's reaction, the Syrian Foreign Ministry said that such aggression by western countries will only lead to world conflicts and threaten world security. The Syrian ambassador to China said that although he has no illusions, Syria will ask the UN Security Council to take measures against the naked aggression of western countries. After the joint attack, Damascus residents gathered in the city center to support the army and the president. Early in the morning, people gathered in the square, holding the Syrian flag and shouting slogans against the United States and supporting the Syrian leaders and army.
