UN resolution could spur Syria civil war, Russia warns

Activists say 95 people were killed across Syria on Monday

The Western-Arab drive to adopt a UN resolution on Syria is a "path to civil war", Russian deputy foreign minister Gennady Gatilov has warned. He told Interfax news agency it would "not lead to a search for compromise".
The resolution is set to be discussed at a UN Security Council meeting on the deepening Syrian crisis.
Arab League Secretary General Nabil al-Arabi will be asking the council to back the league's new plan calling on President Bashar al-Assad to resign.
But Russia had already threatened to veto any such resolution.
The diplomacy follows a day of particularly heavy bloodshed, with more than 100 people killed across Syria.
