Nebenzia called sanctions against Syria "a vicious practice"

"It is high time to realize that unilateral sanctions imposed by a number of states do damage not to the regime, as you call it, but primarily to ordinary Syrian citizens. This is a vicious and counterproductive practice not only in the Syrian, but in any other context, "the diplomat said at a meeting on the political and humanitarian situation in the RA.

He stressed that Russia "will continue to provide assistance to Syria both on the political and humanitarian lines."

Earlier in Syria, they noted that Western sanctions hamper the reconstruction of the country.
