the should be seen by britain france to sort of aggressively push the e.u. twenty songs a book i mean more death and destruction in syria it's really quite understand you u.k. and the u.s. and france they don't want peace with solution to this conflict they're hell bent on one thing i'm walking alone and i need the overthrow of president assad from the bottom and syria they don't want peace we've had ample opportunity for the last two years and every time rebel groups have stated they might want to negotiate the us will have them back so it's very important to understand that what they want is regime change they don't want peace while as you can see there are different positions on this i mean on the one hand we have russia and the u.s. that will be holding a peace conference later and on the other there's britain and france but the u.s. has been reluctant to arm the rebels because they've got a tip you have incidents when that weapons sent to afghanistan and libya were eventually turned on westerners now shouldn't france and britain be worried about those p

so you say what's been russia's reaction to the e.u. syrian bargo so far certainly some very interesting developments in the syrian conflict in fact as you mentioned russia's foreign ministry says that it will deliver the three hundred anti-missile defense system to syria and this comes on the heels of the e.u. allowing the arms embargo to syria to expire as of friday now this opens the doors paves the way for different countries to get involved in the syrian conflict and arming the rebels now this is controversial because in the international community to many it seems like this is basically russia picking sides arming the assad regime but this is not what russia believes in fact russia has always maintained that they are not picking sides in the conflict but they believe the way to end the conflict is through diplomacy but these are through existing contracts this is nothing new this is something that was agreed on before the conflict began and that they're simply fulfilling old contracts that they're obliged to do so but they have sa
