Russia’s Interest in Syria
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in Russia for talks on Syria and the United Nations proposal for a government of national unity there. One point that likely came up in her meeting with foreign minister Sergei Lavrov is the issue of Russia providing arms to Syria.
Russia insists the weapons it sells to Syria cannot be used against peaceful civilians.
The BBC’s Steve Rosenberg in Moscow reports on Russia’s thinking on this issue.
