Russian Foreign Ministry has condemned European Union’s decision to renew coercive and illegitimate sanctions imposed on Syria.
“Russia is disappointed because the European Union, like the US, has deliberately renewed the unilateral coercive measures imposed on Syria” Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova said during a press conference on Thursday.
She added that Moscow noted so many times that those measures don’t only affect the Syrian economy, but they also prevent the Syrian people from getting medicines, medical equipment and humanitarian items
An official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and expatriates said on May 28th that the European Union’s decision to renew the coercive measures imposed on the country unveils the falseness of the stances and statements of its officials and uncovers the hypocrisy which has become the basic feature of the European policies.
