Russia, Despite Draw Down, Shipping More to Syria than Removing
(Reuters) Maria Tsvetkova - In the two weeks since Putin's announcement of a partial withdrawal from Syria, Russia has in fact shipped more equipment and supplies to Syria than it has brought back in the same period, a Reuters analysis shows. The shipments suggest Russia is working intensively to maintain its military infrastructure in Syria and to supply the Syrian army so that it can scale up again swiftly if need be. Moreover, Russia appears to have more than a dozen military vessels in the Mediterranean, including the Zeleniy Dol warship equipped with Kalibr cruise missiles.
