Russia’s ‘rocky’ talks

Russia hopes the UN Security Council will agree a resolution this week to support a deal for Syria to abandon its chemical arms, but talks with the United States have been rocky, a senior Russian diplomat said yesterday.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov reiterated Russia’s opposition to any threat of military action against President Bashar Assad’s government. He said Moscow would not accept a resolution stipulating automatic punitive measures if Assad fails to comply with the deal.
