The States and their allies have been illegally present in Syria since 2014. under the pretext of fighting terrorism. As the permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vasily Nebenzia noted earlier, the Westerners actually stopped fighting the terrorist groups "Islamic State". and "Al-Qaeda" and have long used the fighters they raised exclusively for their own needs, including for sabotage against the Syrian government forces.
