1650 GMT: A Russian Criticism . In unexpectedly critical remarks, Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev has said , "It seems to me that [President Assad's] chances of staying (in power) are shrinking day by day."

Medvedev maintained Russia's position against foreign intervention, "I repeat once again: It is for the Syrian people to decide. Not Russia or the United States or any other country."
