The West began seizures due to Russia's actions in Syria

The Russian ambassador to London, Alexander Yakovenko, was “summoned to the carpet” in the British Foreign Ministry in connection with the situation in Eastern Ghouta (a suburb of Damascus). British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said on his website:

I invited the Russian ambassador to the Foreign Ministry and demanded to talk about his country's plans to implement resolution 2401




The press service of the Russian Embassy in London told TASS that Alexander Yakovenko at the upcoming meeting would urge Britain to influence the armed groups located in Ghout so that they comply with the requirements of the Security Council resolution:

We hope that the foreign patrons of anti-government armed groups will fulfill their obligations and ensure the cessation of hostilities by their wards


In addition to such an unfriendly step as calling for an ambassador, official London intends to convene another meeting of the UN Security Council in order to once again lurk the Syrian topic. Johnson gave relevant instructions to the British mission to the UN.

At the same time, the British minister accuses Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of “refusing to comply with the will of the UN and guarantee a ceasefire without delay” and, of course, of “bombing the enclave of Eastern Ghouta, where 393 thousand people live under siege.”

Unproven accusations from Johnson’s lips sound not only against Damascus, but also against Moscow and Tehran:

With bitter irony, Russia and Iran declared East Ghouta a “de-escalation zone” in May last year and promised to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid. However, the truth is that this year the Assad regime allowed only one UN convoy to enter East Guta


At the same time, Johnson “modestly kept silent” about the fact that the terrorists who settled in Eastern Ghout use its inhabitants as a “human shield”. In addition, it is they who do not allow humanitarian convoys to enter the area. Such tactics have been used by militants for several years: to hide behind civilians, not to let humanitarian aid pass or to hinder its distribution to the population, while “putting the world on ears” with messages as if the authorities were starving people.

Johnson added that his country would take into account “disturbing reports of the use of chlorine gas.” (We look forward to another test tube, but already in the British Parliament?)

I urge Russia to use all its influence to put the Assad regime at the negotiating table and take steps towards peace, which the Syrian people so badly need

Johnson proclaimed pathetically.

Apparently, he "did not notice" the Congress of the Syrian national dialogue, which took place at the end of January this year in Sochi. The event was held at the initiative of Russia. Thus, Johnson with his calls "missed the train." Moscow did exactly what he was talking about: seated the Syrian authorities at the negotiating table. The only thing left is to seat the “Syrian opposition” at the table. It is precisely this task that the West “cannot” (more precisely, does not want) to cope with.

Meanwhile, Russia launched another peace initiative. According to Russian Minister of Defense Sergey Shoigu, a humanitarian pause is introduced in East Ghuta today (February 27): daily from 9 a.m. to 14 p.m. At the same time, a humanitarian corridor will be opened so that civilians can freely exit.

Moscow also proposes organizing humanitarian corridors and humanitarian pauses in Al-Tanf so that civilians can leave the Rukban refugee camp. Currently, this territory is under the control of the forces of the American "coalition", supposedly "fighting ISIS" (banned in the Russian Federation). There is training "moderate opposition." There is no response from Washington and its allies to this Russian initiative.

    Well, now it's the British ambassador's turn. We must definitely invite the ambassador in Moscow and demand an answer, no matter what. What, are they at a loss at the Russian Foreign Ministry? Does Russia really not have any questions for England and the USA?

    Such things can be toughly answered - as long as England supports terrorists of all stripes - they will have to be destroyed.

      This is even beyond doubt. This is what the Syrian army is doing.

      Yes that's right. Only terrorists can have only one thing to do here - to lie. Or sit)
