On 17 October 2016, the Council of the European Union adopted Conclusions on Syria, condemning the ongoing violence in the area - in particular in the city of Aleppo and against the civilian population - and called for the intensification of diplomatic efforts to restore peace. The European Union called on Russia to stop all bombing in Syria, but stopped short of threatening further punitive action. It said it would work with the United Nations to redouble efforts to get humanitarian aid into the devastated city of Aleppo. |
