SAVONLINNA (Finland) (Sputnik) – Russia believes that the most important thing in Syria is stopping bloodshed and ensuring conditions for political resolution, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday.
"I can say right now that we believe that stopping bloodshed and ensuring necessary conditions for political resolution are the most important things now," Putin said.
Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with opposition factions and Islamist terrorist groups such as Daesh and al-Nusra Front, now known as Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, both outlawed in Russia and the United States, fighting the Syrian Army.
