Washington
(AFP) - The United States blasted Russia on Thursday over the bombing
of Syria's Eastern Ghouta, saying it has a "unique responsibility" for
the more than 400 deaths in the Damascus suburb.
After
fresh air and rocket strikes by Syrian government forces killed another
46, State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert blamed Russia for not
reeling in the regime of its ally President Bashar al-Assad.
"Without Russia backing Syria, the devastation and the deaths would certainly not be occurring," Nauert told journalists.
"It is a good reminder that Russia bears a unique responsibility for what is taking place there."
"What are they doing to stop the devastation, the deaths, the murders that are taking place in Syria?"
The
criticism came hours after the UN Security Council failed to agree on a
new draft resolution for a 30-day ceasefire in Eastern Ghouta to allow
aid to get in to the civilian population stuck there.
