Russia says it will go ahead with deliveries of S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to Syria, and that the arms will help deter foreign intervention.Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said the missiles were a "stabilising factor" that could dissuade "some hotheads" from entering the conflict.Russia also criticised a decision by the EU not to renew an arms embargo on the Syrian opposition.Mr Ryabkov said the move would harm the prospects for a peace conference.He said the contract for the S-300 missile systems had been signed several years ago."We consider these supplies a stabilising factor and believe such steps will deter some hotheads from considering scenarios that would turn the conflict international with the involvement of outside forces," he was quoted as telling journalists.
