The Russian ambassador to the United Nations says Moscow vetoed an anti-Syria resolution to prevent any Western military intervention in the Arab country.
Vitaly Churkin said on Thursday that his country vetoed the anti-Syrian move in the United Nations Security Council over fears of Western intervention there.
Churkin added that the French-sponsored document could refuel attempts to use the International Criminal Court for garnering political support, and eventually lay the groundwork for military intervention in Syria.
