Russia says opposes any resolution threatening force against Syria

„They see in the U.S.-Russian deal not a chance to save the planet from significant quantities of chemical weapons in Syria, but as a chance to do what Russia and China will not allow, namely to push through a resolution involving (the threat of)force against the regime and shielding the opposition,“ Interfax news agency cited Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as saying.
