Support for Syria is part of Moscow's broader efforts to kill revolutionary forces
Late last year, the Russian Federation laid the groundwork for the potential starvation of millions of people in Syria’s besieged northwestern Idlib province.
What has added to the severity of the international entanglement is the Syrian regime’s attack on Turkey’s security forces on Monday morning in which five soldiers and one civilian contractor were killed. Assad’s forces, which also have the support of Iranian militias, have pushed ahead with their offensive in recent weeks and in late January they reached the outskirts of Maaret al Numan, a strategic town where the M5 highway linking Aleppo to Damascus passes through.
In December, almost 300,000 people fled to areas closer to the Turkish border to escape the destruction, according to the UN. More than 3 million Syrians have taken shelter in Turkey, which says it has spent more than $40 billion on their welfare without much international support.
