Russian Ambassador to the EU - Vladimir Chizhov
What responsibility do the Russians themselves have for ending the war in Syria? HARDtalk's Sarah Montague speaks to the Russian ambassador to the EU.
Russia is calling on the EU to stump up billions of dollars to help rebuild Syria. Russia’s representative to the EU, Vladimir Chizhov, says if they don’t they will “bear the responsibility for that”. But Russian planes are still destroying parts of the country and rather than support the peace process at the UN, they have set up their own parallel talks. Sarah Montague asks Ambassador Chizhov - what responsibility do the Russians themselves have for ending the war in Syria?
