Russia seeks to facilitate return of civilians to Palmyra

Earlier, Syrian engineers began demining the territory.
The Russian general said Russia invites all countries to join Palmyra’s demining.
"We address all the involved countries to participate in demining of the global history’s monuments in Palmyra," he said.
Syrian army continues to advance eastward after Palmyra’s liberation

After the liberation of Palmyra, Syrian government troops have continued their offensive east of the city expanding the safety zone northward and southward, according to Rudskoi.
"After taking control of the city of Palmyra, the Syrian government troops continue the offensive east of the city and, seizing the dominant heights, are expanding the security zone northward and southward," Rudskoi said.
Militants of the Islamic State terrorist group (outlawed in Russia) captured Palmyra in May 2015. The city was liberated from terrorists by the Syrian army with the assistance from Russia’s Aerospace Forces on March 27, 2016. Russian field engineers were later involved in efforts to demine the city and the ancient monuments located in the vicinity. At that time, the engineers cleared 825 hectares, 8,500 buildings as they demined about 18,000 explosive units. Last December, Palmyra was again in the hands of extremists. On March 2, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin that the operation to liberate the city had been completed. Rudskoi later told a press briefing that the operation to recapture Palmyra from Islamic State militants was planned and conducted under the supervision of Russian military advisers.

"Recaptured". That the new word for aggressive invasion?

"Recaptured". That the new word for aggressive invasion?

sounds like a new word for "No U.S. Troops needed to go to Syria to fight Isis." to me.

I don't get all this anti-Russia in Syria stuff. If i remember right Assad and the Russians have been Allies for many many years long before the U.S. invade Iraq.
THAT's been part of the western powers real 'problem' with Assad. And why he was part of the "axis of evil"
Not the idea that he's hurt some of his own people.
the real issue is western powers don't like Russian influence in the region.
it's one of the real reasons we don't like Iran as well.
any M.E. or African Country that Aligns politically and finically with the Russians or the Chinese is "evil" and must be delivery by some U.S. FREEDOM in the form of Sanctions and bombs.

the western powers would rather seed Syria and Iran, Libya, Lebanon, etc. bombed to crap and loosely in the hands of Isis, and small muslim warlords than cozy and stable aligned with Russia.


the American people are being PLAYED with this "New Cold War" Crap.
That's one thing that Trump had right during the campaign IMO.

As long as Russian troops help Assad maintain power and kill muslim attackers I am all for it.
Islam believes in the prophecy of the end-time Caliphate and Syria/Damascus.
AS LONG AS ISLAM IN ITS NEW ARAB SPRING ATTEMPT AT CREATING THAT CALIPHATE DOES NOT CONTROL SYRIA, ITS A FAILURE (AS FAR AS ISLAMIC PROPHECY GOES)..
BESIDES ASSAD IN POWER IS FAR,FAR LESS OF A THREAT TO US THAN THOSE INSANE MUSLIM FANATICAL TERRORISTS!

Who do you think you are talking to? You addressed ME. I don't get played by these idiots. I am extremely well educated on ME culture. Been living there off and on since I was 2. And I take the time to learn my enemy. I know the politics and the tribes. I don't know why some of y'all think we are idiots. If you're in the scope? I'll tell you what time you go the bathroom. You think you're somehow smarter from a news article than those of us that have been there? Here's a newsflash for ya ... we don't read the news. W read intel. And we stop, watch, listen and learn. It works.

Thanks, revelarts, for your thinking.
But the main point, I would like to draw your attention to, is different.
Russia is sending our sappers to de-mine the terrain with a risk for their lives to let native folks to live safely there.
The same things were done in Aleppo.
I want all of you to think about it.
