The US and its allies struck civil and military facilities in Syria, violating the UN Charter and international law, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, responding to the American-French-British intervention in Syria.

By these actions, Washington is only prompting a new wave of asylum-seekers from Syria and the whole region, according to the Russian leader.
