Sergei Lavrov defends Russia's delivery of missiles to Syria

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday defended the delivery of Russian missiles to the Syrian government, saying the weapons were for defensive purposes only, dpa reported.

"This is not a breach of any international prohibitions," Lavrov said in Warsaw, where he met his counterparts from Poland and Germany.

The S-300 surface-to-air missiles provided were exclusively for defence against airstrikes, "which as we know is in no way an absurd scenario", he said.
