Western countries hit Syria, although neither Russian military experts, nor local residents confirmed fact of chemical attack in the city of Douma, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated. Putin has vehemently condemned the US-led missile strikes against Syria, which “aggravate humanitarian catastrophe, inflict suffering on civilian population and connive at terrorism.” ...
Syria warned Friday at the United Nations that it will have “no other choice” but to defend itself if the West launches military action. “This is not a threat. This is a promise,” Syrian Ambassador Bashar Jaafari told the UN Security Council.
