Russian Ambassador Murder Caused by 'Propaganda of Aleppo Liberation Opponents'

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The news came after the eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo were completely liberated by the Syrian army on December 16.

"Al Bab is adjacent to Aleppo. Thus, when the Syrian army takes control over the city, it will be able to notch up its success and provide Aleppo's security in the future. There are currently fighters of the Free Syrian Army in the outskirts of Al Bab that may again attack Aleppo," Hido said.

The Kurdish politician also emphasized Russia's crucial role in the liberation of Aleppo.

Syria has been mired in a civil war since 2011 with the city of Aleppo becoming one of its major battlegrounds. The war has claimed the lives of thousands of civilians.
