Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke about this to the media after discussing the Syrian crisis with international envoy Lakhdar Brahimi at a meeting in Moscow Saturday.

He also said that no world power has real appetite to send forces to Syria and anyway, Russia would do everything in its power, including at the UN Security Council, to block outside military intervention in the Syrian conflict.

He pointed out that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad remains determined to stay in power and defend his country and its people.
