The European Union has failed to work out a renewal of an arms embargo in Syria. This raises the question of whether or not new arms will be supplied to opposition fighters. Both Britain and France have been on the EU's tail, saying that they should show more of a commitment to Syria's opposition fighters. One of the biggest points of contention among other EU states is that supplying weapons to the opposition could end up actually supplying arms to jidhadists, pushing Russia to send more weapons to the regime. Russia will continue with sending anti-aircraft missiles to Syria, however, with justification that it will help stabilize Syria without the need of a foreign intervention.
