| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] After the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, the United States will undoubtedly withdraw its military contingent from Syria. This was stated on January 26 by the special representative of the Russian President for Syria, Alexander Lavrentyev. “The withdrawal of troops from Iraq will undoubtedly be followed by the withdrawal of troops from Syria, because it will be impossible to maintain logistics and maintain a military contingent in Syria without being able to use Iraqi territory,” he said in an interview with RIA Novosti. As Regnum reported, on January 25, Lavrentyev said that Russia has information that the United States has announced its readiness to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq. The special representative of the president noted that it is now difficult to say how realistic such statements are, and recalled that the United States very easily enters other countries under the pretext of fighting terrorism and very difficultly leaves from there. Earlier in the day, Foreign Policy magazine wrote that Washington was considering a complete withdrawal of troops from Syria. It was noted that the White House is no longer interested in the mission in Syria and considers it unnecessary. Lavrentyev said on January 24 that Russia does not yet see any desire or intention of the United States to withdraw its military contingent from Syrian territory. He noted that the situation in the region has become more complicated and that the US military is suffering quite significant losses. |
