Russia calls U.S. move to supply weapons to Syria rebels a hostile act![]() December 27, 2016 - 14:46 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday, December 27 it viewed a U.S. decision to ease restrictions on weapons supplies to Syrian rebels as a "hostile act" which threatened the safety of Russian warplanes and military personnel, the RIA news agency reported.
