Media: Rebels Have A Chance To Enter Damascus

The Kremlin has made a serious mistake.

The events in Syria may end in the defeat of the current regime if Assad does not receive help from the Russian Federation.

Russian Armed Forces General Alexander Chaiko, who once led the failed operation to capture Kyiv "in three days", will be appointed commander of the Russian group in Syria.

This is encouraging information for the Syrian rebels, since the unsuccessful Russian general may repeat his failure on another front entrusted to him.

The Moscow Times writes that this gives hope to those who liberated Aleppo that they will be able to reach Damascus.

Syrian rebels took advantage of the moment when Assad's allies are fighting on their own fronts and organized an attack on Aleppo.

Presumably, Turkey is behind the opposition movement in Syria, which is most likely now helping the rebels.

Representatives of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, which entered Aleppo on Friday, claim that, in addition to the second largest city in Syria, they managed to take control of four more cities in the province of Hama.

The Syrian military leadership denies this information and scares the rebels with the Russian army, which, according to them, will soon help them carry out a counteroffensive, covering them from the air.

Bloomberg reported that conflicts in Syria always flare up when Russia and Iran are busy with their own "business", fighting with other countries. It also said that Assad should not count on help from his allies since neither Russia nor Iran has time for him now.
