Russia condemns EU sanctions imposed on Syria

As the European Union imposed a ban on the products of three Syrian oil companies, which it believes, act as financial pillars of President Bashar Assad’s regime, Russia has condemned the EU action.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the actions imposed on Syria, “will lead to nothing good.”

“We have always said that unilateral sanctions will lead to nothing good. This ruins the partnership approach to any crisis,” Lavrov told reporters, adding that Russia was against such sanctions.
