MOSCOW – A new wave of violence in Syria has caused deep concerns in Moscow, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
“A new wave of violence in Syria is deeply disturbing.
“The Russian side is particularly alarmed by the information about the cases of unacceptable brutal reprisals against civilians.
“It proceeds from the fact that attacks on the lives and safety of civilians is unacceptable.
“Moscow hopes that the implementation of the planned steps for de-escalation will help reduce tensions and reliably stabilise the situation in Syria,” the ministry said in a statement.
Attacks in Syria constituted a violation of the country’s sovereignty and international law, which Moscow said deserved strong condemnation.
Additionally, the ministry said that there are no casualties among Russian citizens during the clashes and raids in Syria, according to incoming information. (RIA/NAN)
