'2nd among world's biggest economies' — Putin

🇷🇺 Moscow is the rear the army can rely on — Putin

🔍Syrian Interim President al-Sharaa reveals that 'deals were made' between HTS and Russia by the time the Hama battles started in late November/early December 2024

When we arrived in Hama...negotiations broke out between us and the Russians...When we arrived in Homs, the Russians had withdrawn from battle...as part of an agreement between us and them. This had a positive impact on the battle.

While Al-Sharaa praises Russia's approach as not having 'shown any interference in Syrian affairs,' and 'on the contrary, there has been positive interaction,' he doesn't afford the same attitude to Iran — despite Russian aerial attacks producing a decisive turning point in the war against Al-Qaeda and the then-Syrian opposition in 2015-2016.

We're not saying there's a permanent rift between us and Iran...provided there is respect for the Syrian situation, no interference in our internal affairs, no incitement of sectarian strife of any kind

Implying Iran is inciting sectarian strife in Syria?
