Russia expressed Friday its rejection to an "unbalanced" US-backed UN draft resolution on Syria as the Syrian authorities were figting terrorists and ceasing their Israeli-made weapons

Russia expressed Friday its rejection to an "unbalanced" US-backed UN draft resolution on Syria.

“We cannot agree with the draft resolution in the form it is being presented in today. The text of the resolution under discussion is unbalanced,” Interfax quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov as saying.

"Its main problem is the absence of a simultaneous call on all sides to take practical steps in the context of ceasing fire," Gatilov was quoted as saying.
  
Gatilov said Russia was receiving reports that the UN Security Council intended to put the resolution up for a vote at a meeting on Monday.

"It is unacceptable to tie the adoption of any text with a deadline. The time factor is not the most important thing," Gatilov said. "The most important thing is to find a text that is realistic, without ambiguity, and aimed at a stable settlement," he stressed.

In another development, Syrian authorities have been plunged in confronting terrorist acts across the country. They clashed with armed terrorist groups on the farms surrounding Taibet al-Imam in Hama, killing few terrorists and confiscating their arms, some of which were Israeli-made, SANA news agency reported.

The authorities also seized weapons smuggled from Turkey in Tal Abyad area on the Syrian-Turkish borders in Raqqa countryside.

In addition, 4 explosive devices planted by the armed terrorist groups at the crossroad of Trembeh village in Sarakeb in Idleb countryside were dismantled bt members of military engineering units.
