"A meeting of the U.N. Security Council’s permanent members ended quickly Thursday
with no sign of progress on an agreement over Syria’s crisis.
The meeting Thursday afternoon started breaking up after less than an hour, with the ambassadors of China, France, Britain, Russia and the United States steadily walking out....

British Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant looked grim as he walk past reporters Thursday, saying “no comment.” The other ambassadors also did not speak to reporters.

A Western diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were private, said Russia called Thursday’s meeting. Russia’s U.N. mission refused to comment." via Free Republic
