The hostilities in Syria continue because the militant groups that fight with the government forces are receiving support from the mentioned countries, according to the Chechen leader.

The Syrian state has managed to last due to the efforts of Russia, Kadyrov noted, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin “as a peacemaker, acts in accordance with the norms of international community and protects the integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic.
