New York (ST): Russia’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, reiterated his country’s condemnation of the continuous Israeli aggression on Syrian lands, stressing Syria’s unity and sovereignty and the need to end illegal foreign presence on its lands.

 Sputnik news agency quoted Nebenzia as saying today during the UN Security Council session, “We condemn the continuous Israeli air strikes on Syrian territory, which undermine stability in Syria and the region,” stressing his country’s adherence to the sovereignty and complete unity of Syria and ending the illegal foreign presence on its lands after the final defeat of terrorists and the establishment of peace and security in the country.
