...”No avenue forward on UN Syria resolution”...
Stuck just like they were in Egypt....playing out here the same...
However Russia will not sit idly by...and therein is the difference.

18:00 GMT: UK Foreign Minister William Hague has called the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to exchange views on the situation in Syria, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman told Itar-Tass.
Hague has informed Lavrov of the draft UK resolution connection with the alleged chemical weapon use in Syria, the spokesman said.
Lavrov then told his UK counterpart that the UN Security Council should not consider a resolution on Syria before the UN inspector team reports on the alleged chemical weapons use.
17:46 GMT: Russian UN representatives did not stage a walk-out at the meeting of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, Itar-Tass reports citing Russias permanent mission to the UN. The statement came in response to earlier reports claiming that Russian and Chinese diplomats left what was said to be a closed-door discussion of the UK-drafted resolution on the alleged chemical weapons use in Syria.
The Russian representative went out when the meeting ended. That was not a demarche. It is just that some of the delegations did not leave for a long time, the diplomatic source was quoted as saying.
