As we can see, the situation in Syria continues to deterioate.
The United States closed its embassy as of Monday and several European countries have recalled their ambassadors. This comes from the Syrian government's decision to push its assault on Homs and the Russian delegation's visit to Damascus earlier this week.
However, Russia has made an odd shift in its position in this issue just days after it vetoed the UN Resolution with China. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov has called for a solution based on solutions presented by the Arab League.
"Mr Lavrov called for a solution to the crisis based on initiatives put forward by the Arab League on 2 November 2011 to end the violence, though he has given no indication that Russia supports the league's more recent call for Mr Assad to step down.
He said Damascus was ready for a larger Arab mission to monitor peace efforts, and would set a date for a constitutional referendum."
Lavrov also commented that the West's reaction to Russia's veto vote bordered on "hysteria."
Meanwhile the deathtoll is rising. The number has reached 7,000, however, no one can really confirm.
