Syria: Russia accuses West of being "accomplices" in violence

“The responsibility rests with those who while holding the levers of
influence over the opposition still fail to call it to order and demand that
it accept the Syrian government’s offers and begin real talks,” said Mr
Ryabkov.

Last Sunday, Russia and China jointly vetoed a resolution before the United
Nations Security Council that would have urged Mr Assad to transfer power to
his deputy.

The deputy foreign minister said the Kremlin was willing to repeat the
exercise, warning that Russia “will have to again and again resort to
strong measures” at the Security Council if more draft resolutions that
blame the conflict on Mr Assad are proposed.

The bombardment of Homs, which has now lasted for a week and claimed at least
300 lives, has focused Western countries on the humanitarian situation
inside Syria.

But Russia believes that any such concerns are merely a cover for the real
goal of toppling Mr Assad. “Russia does not share the West’s views
about so-called ‘humanitarian intervention’,” said Mr Ryabkov.
