State Department spokesperson Joel Rayburn said 'that an authoritarian regime cannot kill its way out of a crisis it has created,' but Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called U.S. intervention 'illegal.'
The State Department has issued one of its strongest condemnations yet of Syria, while Russia's top diplomat indicated it was the United States preventing a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
He also accused Moscow of propping up the Syrian government, but that same day Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov offered his take on the conflict, where he deemed Washington's methods"illegal" throughout the eight-year war. Washington and Moscow have rhetorically clashed about over one another's interventions, with both accusing the other of having sponsored human rights abuses. The latter has also used Holocaust-era imagery, with the Russian military saying thein U.S.-controlled territory"reminds one of the concentration camps of the Second World War."
