The U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton,  warned Russia over its armed shipments to the Syrian regime, saying it was untrue that it had nothing to do with putting down the current uprising. 

"We have confronted the Russians about stopping their continued arms shipments to Syria," said Clinton.  "They have from time to time said that we shouldn't worry, everything they're shipping is unrelated to their actions internally. That's patently untrue."
