FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Russia will “press for inter-Syrian dialogue,” Ambassador Vitaly Churkin told a council debate on the Middle East on Wednesday.

Churkin also criticized the United States and European countries for seeking to increase pressure on Assad outside of the UN Security Council.
The West action “leads to a worsening escalation of the confrontation,” and western nations “will likely bear the burden of responsibility for the likely catastrophic consequences of such acts,” Churkin added.
