The UN Security Council met on Friday after Russia condemned the US missile strike on a Syrian air base and vowed to help beef up the regime’s air defences.

俄罗斯谴责美国用导弹打击叙利亚空军基地的军事行动，并誓言将帮助叙利亚政权加强空中防卫。联合国安理会在周五召开会议，对叙利亚局势表示关切。

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said the US action was an “aggression against a sovereign state in violation of international law”. Dmitry Peskov added that the attack had dealt “a significant blow to the Russia-US relations, which are already in a deplorable shape”.

俄罗斯总统普京发言人德米特里?佩斯科夫(Demitry Peskov)表示，美国军事行动是“对一个主权国家的侵略，并违反国际法。”佩斯科夫接着表示，这一攻击对已经很糟糕的俄美关系造成严重打击。

Major General Igor Konashenkov, spokesman for the Russian defence ministry, said the Russian military would now take steps to strengthen Syrian air defences to help “protect the most sensitive Syrian infrastructure facilities”.

俄罗斯国防部发言人伊戈尔?科纳申科夫(Igor Konashenkov)少将表示，俄军将采取步骤，加强叙利亚空中防卫，以协助“保卫叙利亚最敏感的基础设施。”
