Returning the Favour
"Our president expressed his support for Moscow by saying that Russia has come to correct history", said Yara Saleh, a leading Syrian journalist. "In this operation, Russia is not fighting the Ukrainian people. It is defending its principles of justice and humanity. And Syria backs this approach. We want justice to be the leader of the world. Not the United States or the West".
People's Support
"This support stems from the Syrian people having seen the unjust sanctions the West has slapped on Syria. Syrians know that the West wants to control the world in defiance of their principles of humanity and justice. So people take to the streets to voice their backing of Moscow", explained Saleh.
"This operation is taking that long simply because the Russian Army doesn't want to hurt civilians. And this is what makes the Russians different from the West", Saleh stated.
