Moscow, SANA- Special Adviser at the Republic Presidency, Luna al-Shebel, has affirmed that Syria supports the Russian special military operation in Donbas.
“Russia did not resort to this military operation until after all opportunities for political solutions had been exhausted and the direct threat against it had become serious,” al-Shebel said in an interview with Russian Sputnik Agency published on Monday.
She noted that the course of military action cannot be talked about without seeing all the political and diplomatic work that preceded it.
Al-Shebel affirmed that the West’s talk of hostility with Nazism is a “big lie”, considering that the West will suffer more from the siege imposed on Russia than Moscow itself.
She clarified that Syria had expressed its willingness to recognize the republics of Donetsk and Luhansk about two months before the recent events and “does not fear Western sanctions.”
Al-Shebel said that the Syrian government has made contacts with representatives of the two republics and is ready to cooperate in various fields when tensions subside in the region.
She added that Syria will support Russia to overcome sanctions, as Moscow did with Damascus.
In the same context, al-Shebel said that the countries which had supported previous wars in a number of countries in the world have no right to condemn Russia.
“The countries that have killed millions since the Korean War and then the wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq and today in Syria, have no right to talk about international law, legitimacy or conscience,” she added.
She stressed that the Western countries have turned the world into a “forest” where the strong eat the weak, and thus Russia not only has the right, but is also obliged to defend itself.
On the other hand, al-Shebel said: “We have information about the departure of extremist militants from the Middle East to Ukraine and Kazakhstan.”
