Foreign Secretary Foreign Secretary says the UK, US and France are united in supporting a UN resolution to enshrine Syria’s responsibility to hand over chemical weapons.
A week that started with a march toward war, that melted in the heat of U.S. politics, that morphed into high-level diplomacy, ended with a U.S.-Russian deal to destroy Syria’s chemical weapons.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has written an opinion article in the New York Times to appeal to the American people about the ongoing crisis in Syria, and caution them that a military strike on Syria could result in a rise in terrorism.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has said that France will propose a resolution to the UN Security Council to place Syria’s chemical weapons under international control.
Russia has urged the Syrian regime to give up their stockpiles of chemical weapons to “international control” in an attempt to avoid US military action.
