俄羅斯誓言協助敘利亞加強空防

The UN Security Council met on Friday after Russia condemned the US missile strike on a Syrian air base and vowed to help beef up the regime’s air defences.

俄羅斯譴責美國用導彈打擊敘利亞空軍基地的軍事行動，並誓言將幫助敘利亞政權加強空中防衛。聯合國安理會在週五召開會議，對敘利亞局勢表示關切。

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said the US action was an “aggression against a sovereign state in violation of international law”. Dmitry Peskov added that the attack had dealt “a significant blow to the Russia-US relations, which are already in a deplorable shape”.

俄羅斯總統普京發言人德米特里?佩斯科夫（Demitry Peskov）表示，美國軍事行動是“對一個主權國家的侵略，並違反國際法。”佩斯科夫接着表示，這一攻擊對已經很糟糕的俄美關係造成嚴重打擊。

Major General Igor Konashenkov, spokesman for the Russian defence ministry, said the Russian military would now take steps to strengthen Syrian air defences to help “protect the most sensitive Syrian infrastructure facilities”.

俄羅斯國防部發言人伊戈爾?科納申科夫（Igor Konashenkov）少將表示，俄軍將採取步驟，加強敘利亞空中防衛，以協助“保衛敘利亞最敏感的基礎設施。”
