Russia strongly condemns the US strike and calls for unconditional respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria, Maria Zakharova said at a weekly briefing by the Russian Foreign Ministry. She reiterated that any attempt to turn Syrian territory into an arena for settling geopolitical scores is unacceptable.
Sergey Lavrov commented on this event during joint press conference with his Afghanistan colleague. The minister said that the Russian military had been warned literally before the attack. He also questioned the legality of the United States presence in the country.
According to Lavrov, the United States is blocking supplies, including humanitarian aid, and illegally using Syrian oil.
