Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that his patience with militant attacks in Syria's Ghouta region is not indefinite, as terrorist groups positioned in the Damascus suburb continue to shell the capital indiscriminately. After losing most of the Syrian territories in their control, foreign-backed militants are now largely concentrated in Eastern Ghouta, causing one of the deadliest stages over the course of the years-long conflict in Syria. "As is known - in any case, we in Russia know this well enough - some shells crash even on the territory of the Russian embassy and trade mission. Are we going to tolerate this indefinitely? Of course, not," Putin said during a Wednesday news conference that followed talks with Austria’s Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz in Moscow. "Bombardments from there continue unabated. On some days missile and mortar strikes reach 50-60," Putin said. Syrian government forces have been pounding terrorist positions in the area to retake it and free a large number of civilians who are trapped there and struggle with malnutrition and lack of basic medical supplies. Putin said quite a few extremist groups present in Eastern Ghouta had been included in relative UN blacklists and military operations against them would continue based on the latest resolution adopted by the UN Security Council. PressTV-Militants must act to make Syria truce work: Lavrov Russia says it has fulfilled its part of the agreement to restore calm to Eastern Ghouta, where it has announced a humanitarian truce, urging militants and their backers to follow suit. Last week, the UNSC voted unanimously in favor of a 30-day ceasefire in Syria "without delay" to allow aid access and medical evacuations in conflict-ridden areas. Russia has on several occasions asked the international community and its "Western colleagues" in the UNSC "so active on the Syrian trajectory" to evaluate the many attacks terrorists in Ghouta have conducted on its diplomatic mission over the past years. Putin's government has been engaged in an anti-terror campaign in Syria since September 30, 2015, based on a request from the Damascus government. The campaign has been deemed largely successful by experts in that it has helped the Syrian government to push terrorists out of many areas. The foreign-sponsored conflict in Syria, which started in March 2011, has claimed the lives of more than 400,000 people, according to an estimate by UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura. EU asks Russia, Iran, Turkey to end Syria violence Lavrov along with his Iranian and Turkish counterparts, Mohammad Javad Zarif and Mevlüt Çavu_o lu, has been leading the Syrian peace talks in the Kazakh capital Astana since last January. Earlier in the day, Federica Mogherini, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, said she had sent a letter to the trio of leaders, asking them to help end the violence in Syria. PressTV-West only cares for terrorists, not Damascus civilians: Syria Syria’s UN envoy denounces the US and Europe for their silence on the carnage of civilians in Damascus by the terror groups operating in Eastern Ghouta. In the letter, dated February 26, the EU's top diplomat said the three countries should “take all necessary steps to ensure that the fighting stops, that the Syrian people are protected, and finally that urgent humanitarian access and necessary medical evacuations are taking place.” Mogherini said a copy of the letter was sent to all 28 EU foreign ministers as well as Antonio Guterres, the secretary general of the UN. Poster Comment: Tatarewicz... American Jews still have control of Congress so US is obliged to serve the interests of Israel which wants Syria disrupted by its rebel allies to facilitate Israel's expansion in ME. Little Putin can do about this. Only and EMP over Israel would bring a quick end to rebel attacks in Syria. [Chamberlain] These Al Qaeda militants have already launched at least two successful mortars inside the Russian embassy in Damascus. No government can tolerate this without reacting. J.J.'s_Zionism_is_Terrorism_Tour... There are a few ways of ending these militant attacks in Syria's Ghouta region, and I can't think of one that's palatable. Perhaps cutting their supply lines and then negotiate but you wind up not negotiating with them but with their masters in K.S.A., U.S.A., and Tel Aviv. Perhaps the answer is to isolate them in such a way they realize they're alone, or do things to keep them up at night so they never sleep and soon go crazy LOL farid khan... Lord Putin, outwitted US repeatedly and has maintain lead among current leaders of nations .. his diplomacy of Russia first and moral hand for other nations has shown effectiveness without causing larger carnage (open wars) .. and those criticizing him below, IF it wasn't of Putin, Syria is/was finished, new dictatorship, entire ME in favor of Israel, more balkanization of Syria, Iraq and Lebanon .. Israel already in bed with Egypt, Saudi and often times with Turkey, which other strong nations are left? .. only Putin's Russia altered the equation - U disgraceful dimwits!! For China, she wouldn't give a damn, except for rebuilding, loaded with compound interest, with surrendering of management on facilities, utilities anonymously> Truth... I think that this is the time for Iran to jump in with both feet, I hope that they are doing just that at this time, otherwise the Russians would just standby and let the Americans and their terrorists totally destroy Syria, then just before the end they would move in and announce that they are the overlords of the country, because Russia just like America does not want to see any country in the Middle-East becoming powerful, strong and independent like Iran would become if it were to save Syria.
