Russia’s deputy United Nations ambassador Vladimir Safronkov blasted the missile strike on Syria — telling the UN Security Council on Friday the US was too quick to blame President Bashar al-Assad for a chemical attack earlier in the week.

“When you take your own path this leads to horrible tragedies for countries in the region and the people living there,” Safronkov said, adding, “Those who undertook this attack are in no way interested in an impartial investigation.

“We strongly condemn the illegitimate actions by the US,” he added. “The consequences of this for regional and internal stability could be extremely serious.”

The emergency meeting was called after the US fired nearly 60 cruise missiles at a Syrian air base in response to the chemical attack that killed more than 80 people.

US allies in Europe showed support for the strike during the meeting, and UK ambassador Matthew Rycroft called it a “proportionate response to unspeakable acts.”

Bolivia, whose ambassador chided the US for executing an act of “unilateral aggression” during the discussions, had requested the emergency meeting and asked that it be held behind closed doors, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley said in a statement.

“The United States, as president of the Council this month, decided the session would be held in the open,” she said. “Any country that chooses to defend the atrocities of the Syrian regime will have to do so in full public view, for all the world to hear.”
