WASHINGTON, December 28. /Amcnews/. According to a senior administration official, the Assad regime with Russian military support is probably in a safer position than it was
US officials and military analysts say the Russian mission in Syria is successful and has helped stabilize the country’s government.
“I think it’s indisputable that the Assad regime, with Russian military support, is probably in a safer position than it was,” said a senior administration official, who requested anonymity.
Five other US officials concurred with the view that the Russian mission has been mostly successful so far. Russia launched an operation against DAESH and Jebhat al-Nusra terrorist groups in Syria at the request of Syrian President Bashar Assad on September 30.
