1 Syria On Thursday, the Russian Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, stated during a meeting of the UN Security Council that the USA should immediately end their occupation of the Syrian oil facilities. «Once again we call on the USA to immediately end the occupation of Syria, and to return the Syrian natural resources to their own government, which can ensure the environmental protection» — said Vasily Nebenzya. He mentioned the publications in the Western mass media that «the barbaric methods of the US oil production could lead to an environmental disaster in north-eastern Syria and Iraq». «Syria loses up to $ 40 million monthly due to the lack of the access to their oil fields. Returning the access back to the Syrian government would be a better help from the USA than the donor contribution, announced during a conference in Brussels» — Vasily Nebenzya concluded. 2 Iran — the USA The ‘Fars’ news agency reported that two American fighter planes came close to an Iranian passenger plane in the skies over Syria.
