Russia considered on Tuesday that the European Union’s failure to agree on a new arms embargo on Syria was undermining the peace process in the country, Russia Today reported.

European UnionEU governments lift during the Brussels meeting an arms embargo on the Syrian opposition, granting victory to France and Britain at the expense of EU unity.

With this decision, the door is open for Britain and France to deliver arms to Syrian terrorists fighting the Syrian regime headed by President Bashar Al-Assad.

Meanwhile, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov indicated that Moscow and Washington remain undecided as to the content of a proposed international conference on Syria.

Ryabkov was quoted by RT as saying that “there remains a gap between the positions of Russia and the US regarding some issues and aspects of this major international crisis.”

“And we, for our part, cannot agree to hold such events (the international conference on Syria) amid a situation where partners and possible participants in such a conference seek to impose solutions on the Syrian people from the outside, as well as predetermine the course of a transitional process, the parameters of which have not been determined yet," he added.
