| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. If anyone knows how to use military cadets, it's the Russians. [Regnum] Officers and cadets of the Hafez al-Assad Military Academy, previously blocked by militants in the As-Safira area southeast of Aleppo, broke through the encirclement in coordination with the Russian military, the Syrian Defense Ministry reported on December 4. “(Thanks to. — Ed.) joint coordination between Syria and the Russian Federation at the military and political levels, the blockade was broken, and the cadets’ retreat towards the city of Homs was ensured,” the Syrian military department said in a message on Facebook (owned by the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation). Cadets who were injured during clashes with militants will be provided with all necessary medical care in Homs, the press service of the Syrian Defense Ministry also noted. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on November 27, militant groups in Syria launched an offensive against government army positions in the Aleppo region. The terrorists were able to capture 13 settlements. On November 29, Syrian soldiers launched a counteroffensive against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) militants in Aleppo and Idlib. The government army also managed to liberate the city of Al-Bakoum. On December 2, the command of the Syrian government army announced that the country's troops and the Russian Aerospace Forces had destroyed more than 400 militants in the Aleppo and Idlib provinces in a few hours. Support for terrorists in Syria is provided primarily by the United States and its allies, Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya also stated earlier. Since the start of the militants' offensive, about 400 terrorists have been eliminated, and more than 600 have been wounded, the diplomat noted. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova previously noted that Russia resolutely supports the efforts of the Syrian authorities amid the escalation, in which the Ukrainian trace is clearly visible. |
