Russia has condemned the EU’s move to step up sanctions on Syria by banning imports of its oil, amid ongoing protests against the rule of President Bashar al-Assad.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the sanctions would “lead to nothing good”.
Oil accounts for about 25% of Syria’s income and EU member states take about 95% of its oil exports.
At least 14 people were reportedly killed on Friday as protesters again came out in force across the country.
