The Kremlin continues to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, maintaining a strict aversion to military intervention and seeking to defend its strategic interests, including its naval base in the Syrian city of Tartus. That stance has translated, most obviously, into repeated vetoes of UN Security Council resolutions aimed at ending a conflict that has already produced tens of thousands of victims.
紧邻欧洲的俄罗斯也必须应对源自变化的全球环境的新的动荡之势。克里姆林宫继续支持着叙利亚巴沙尔·阿萨德政权，充当着军事干预的顽固障碍，寻求捍卫其自身的战略利益（包括在叙利亚城市塔尔图斯的海军基地）。这一立场最清晰的体现是俄罗斯一再否决联合国安理会旨在结束已经造成数万受害者的冲突的方案。
