Zakharova Stresses Russia’s Continued Support for Syria.


Moscow: Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova stressed that the major Western powers continue their hostile practices and attacks against Syria. ‘Attempts to target the Syrian state, its sovereignty and independence have been ongoing for years by regimes hostile to international peace and security in general, and they have chosen Syria and are still clinging to it as a target for their ongoing and continuous aggression.’ Zakharova articulated in a special interview with SANA’s correspondent in Moscow.

According to Syrian Arab News Agency, Zakharova reiterated Russia’s supportive stance towards Syria and its people, preserving its independence and sovereignty, and its full awareness that Syria is the basis for ensuring security and stability in the region, noting that the policy of Western powers, primarily the United States and Britain, in spreading chaos through armed and terrorist groups has become exposed.

She considered that the illegal military presence of US forces in Syria represents
the presence of groups of criminal militants who steal Syria’s resources, stressing Russia’s position of rejection and condemnation of the continued hostile US approach towards Syria.
