The EU is preparing a new batch of sanctions against Syria, which France says will be the harshest yet. The move came amid conflicting reports about new attacks in Homs.
"Europe will again harden sanctions imposed on the Syrian regime,” French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on Sunday, according to AFP. “We will try to increase this international pressure and there will come a time when the regime will have to realize that it is completely isolated and cannot continue."
France has also proposed setting up a contact group on Syria to implement initiatives by the League of Arab States for ensuring a peaceful transfer of power in Syria and for stepping up international pressure on Damascus.
Meanwhile, numerous reports are coming in from Syrian rebels stating that government forces have launched another assault on Homs killing at least 50. But government and state-media claim the attacks were staged.
Russia: Western reaction to UN Syria veto 'hysterical'
With no clear picture of exactly what is happening in Syria – most journalists reporting on the situation are outside the country – it is hard to know what Western allies at the UN base their assertions on.
Dissatisfied with the wording of the latest UN draft resolution, Russia and China vetoed the proposal, which they believed contained disturbing echoes of Libya and left the door open to possible foreign military intervention.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Foreign Intelligence chief Mikhail Fradkov are to head to Damascus on Tuesday for talks with Syria’s President Assad. Lavrov says details of the meeting cannot be disclosed at this stage.
There has been swift reaction to the veto from the West. Governments lined up to condemn the veto, with France saying Russia and China would now bear a moral responsibility for the violence in Syria.
"I believe that the process of the Security Council has been paralyzed with the veto issued by Russia and China,” AP quoted French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe as saying. “They imposed on the UN Security Council a moral stain, because what is happening in Syria is totally unacceptable.”
Sergey Lavrov dubbed the West’s reaction “hysterical.”
"Some voices from the West, evaluating the result of the vote in the UN Security Council over the Syrian resolution, sound inappropriately, I would say, on the verge of hysterics ,” he said at a Moscow press conference on Monday.
He added that the authors of the draft resolution had demonstrated their disrespect towards Russia, by choosing to move to a vote before Russian diplomats returned from Damascus.
Lavrov and Russia's Foreign Intelligence chief Mikhail Fradkov are set to head to Damascus on Tuesday for talks with Syria’s President Assad. However, Lavrov said details of the meeting would remain confidential for the moment.
Napisi da je snimak tezak i samo postavi link. Mozes i da navedes sta se u snimku vidi da bi ljudi znali da li uopste da ga gledaju. A ovako postavis YT prozor sve sa slikom jadnog deta koji lici na bloodstuckera is Stalkera. Mislim sama slika je dovoljna da ti se prevrne stomak.
Bojim se da bi ova tema mogla otići u istom smjeru kao što je dosta često odlazila ona o ratu u Libiji. Ovakve video zapise smo već mogli vidjeti, i uvjeren sam da ih postavlja ista osoba koja ih je postavljala u toj temi, samo pod drugim profilom. Provokator, troll ili što već, nije važno. Takve stvari kojima nije mjesto na ovakvom forumu treba ili ignorirati ili se moderatori trebaju pozabaviti time. U protivnom tema gubi smisao i odlazi u kafanska prepucavanja.
Nevjerovatno kako se sve odvija na istu foru ! I kako ovi likovi iz arapskih vladajucih struktura ne vide dalje od svog nosa.Mogu misliti sad kad pocnu da zapad bombarduju ovakvim snimcima ! Eto im zabrane letova kolko sjutra ! Ode Sirija niz vodu...
Kad sam napisao onaj post na prošloj(pretprošloj) strani imao sam u vidu upravo ovakve slike i žrtve.
Čudno je da na YT takvi klipovi vise u poslednjih godinu dana a neku su čak bez upozorenja dugo vremena, i verujte mi imalo je i gorih. Mislim da nije slučajno to što ih kače da bi izazvali gađenje Assadovom torturom.
Kad se granatiraju civilne strukture u kojima su snajperi i PM onda to tako izgleda.
Deca su deca a krv je krv, ma čija da su.
Zato ja na sve ovo ne gledam tako jednostavno. Ako Rusi žele da zadrže tu bazu u Siriji budite spremni na još takvih slika i krvi. Ovo je ipak 21 vek, i novi Vijetnam bi se teško uklopio u njegov kontekst.

Ako imas problem obrati se moderatorima, manje troluj, ne radi se o snimcima vec o tome da asad stvarno bombarduje gradove, iskreno ne zanima me ko ce voditi siriju, mene vise zanima kad ce Krajiscnici dobiti imovinu i stanove nazad.
I cemu onda croati u avganistanu, zasto ne govoris o tome sto ti komsije ubijaju avganistansku decu nego si nasao da solis pamet o tome sto neko postavlja klipove o osakacenoj deci u sriji?
Levcanine da snimci sa youtuba nesto mjenjaju svijet bi bio drugacije mjesto, imas hrpu snimaka iz libije osakacene djece od nato bombi, kao da je briga nekog za to.
