Russia’s President Vladimir Putin warned that the world would experience “chaos” if Syria were attacked again, as he sent two warships carrying tanks and military equipment towards the Middle East. The vessels are believed to be heading to the Russian naval base at Tartus on the northern coast of Syria.
The Russian military said that the ships are “keeping track at a close distance of US and NATO assault ships and submarines in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea.”
The Russian President has responded angrily to the strikes, which were justified on the argument that Syria had allegedly used chemical weapons on its citizens in the city of Douma.
The Kremlin said that Mr. Putin told his Iranian counterpart that the strikes had undermined chances of a political resolution to the conflict. ‘Vladimir Putin, in particular, stressed that if such actions committed in violation of the U.N. Charter continue, then it will inevitably lead to chaos in international relations.’
Russia says that the chemical attack, which was in breach of international laws against the use of chemical weapons, was faked or staged. The Assad government has also denied responsibility.
