Russia and China have vetoed a UN Security Council resolution proposed by Western powers designed to impose sanctions on the Syrian regime of embattled President Bashar Al-Assad.
The resolution, tabled by France, Germany, Portugal, the UK and USA, was intended to force a regime change in Syria.
Russia and China have repeatedly urged for a more balanced approach, warning that the west gives undue support to anti-government rebels.
In turn, Western members of the Security Council refused to discuss a version of the resolution proposed by Russia.
Russian envoy to the UN Vitaly Churking blamed those countries for a "non-constructive position."
In addition, a terrorist blast against a bus of Israeli tourists in Burgas, Bulgaria, gave Israel the occasion to steep up rhetoric against Iran, blaming the attack on the Islamic Republic.
