Russia and China, which have shielded Syria's government on the U.N. Security (SECURITY.8)Council during the three-year-long civil war, voted in favour of the RESOLUTION (RSL.LO)(RSL.LO) They had previously vetoed three resolutions condemning Syria's government and threatening it with possible sanctions.
