Putin warns against military intervention in Syria

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday any attempt at foreign military intervention in Syria was doomed to fail and would make the situation worse. Speaking at a joint news conference after a summit with European Union leaders, Putin said Russia was disappointed by an EU decision not to extend an embargo on member states arming rebel forces fighting the Syrian government. Putin has defended Russia's arms sales to Syria, saying Russia has not yet delivered the S-300 missile system.
