U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (L) and Russia's President Vladimir Putin smile as they meet at Bocharov Ruchei state residence in Black Sea resort of Sochi May 17, 2013.

 

UNITED NATIONS - United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Wednesday that Russian military support for the Syrian government would only worsen the country's more than four year civil war.

When asked about Russia's military support, Ban said: "There is no military solution, I'm concerned about the parties providing arms. This kind of situation will only help the situation going worse and worse, deteriorate."
