Moscow condemns Zionist raids on Damascus

MOSCOW, Feb. 19 (YPA) – The Russian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned on Sunday the Zionist raids on Damascus and its suburbs last night and considered them a flagrant violation of the rules of international law.

Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said in a statement: “We strongly condemn the Zionist military actions, which are a flagrant violation of international law.”

The Russian Foreign Ministry’s statement called on the Israeli occupation to stop armed provocations against Syria, which would have dire consequences for the entire Middle East region.

The spokeswoman stressed that the Zionist position, in light of the humanitarian crisis that Syria has been suffering from for two weeks as a result of the earthquake, is “despicable” and unacceptable behavior.

She stated that many countries around the world, including Russia, are assisting Syria in overcoming their great adversity by sending doctors, rescuers, and humanitarian aid.
