Ruth response to air strikes in Syria
Please see below a comment from Ruth regarding the air strikes carried out in Syria.
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson MSP said:
"Last night's air strikes were targeted at the Syrian regime's chemical weapon facilities and in direct response to the chemical attack on Syria's civilian population in Douma last week.
"While carried out by UK, US and French military personnel, the strikes have the express support of the EU and NATO, as well as the governments of Canada, Australia and Germany, among others.
"The international community recognises that chemical weapons cannot be used with impunity, and that last night's targeted action will degrade the ability of the Assad regime to further develop and deploy chemical weapons in future."
