The French armed forces will take the most active part in the military operation in Syria. They will actively assist the American contingent.

Together, Paris and Washington are hoping to defeat the terrorists. About the intention to increase the military presence in the Arab Republic, French President Emmanuel Macron announced at a press conference in Washington after talks with his American counterpart Donald Trump. "We are fully committed and will continue to participate, increase participation in the new framework of the international coalition. I am committed to coordinating with the Americans to provide support to the US presence in northern Syria, especially to the east of the Euphrates River, "said the French politician. Judging by the rhetoric of Macron, he is sincerely convinced that without the French military to put an end to the militants of the terrorist group banned in Russia, the "Islamic state" will not work. "You need to have all the means to complete the operation. We are participating in this common struggle and will continue it until the end.. We will work together to strengthen security in the region, "assured the President of the Republic. Earlier, Makron said that Trump dreamed of "leaving Syria" as soon as possible, but it was he, the French leader, who persuaded the head of the White House not to leave the Arab Republic until the terrorists were defeated. "Your president said that he will complete the participation of the US forces (in actions in Syria) as soon as the war with the IG is over. We hold the same position, "- said the President of France. Macron insists that Western countries should negotiate with Russia on settling in Syria. In addition, he is convinced of the need to unite the efforts of the negotiation processes in Geneva and Astana. Otherwise, it will lead to the division of the Arab Republic into two parts:.

one will be controlled by Russia, Turkey and Iran, the other - Western countries. France has created a new initiative group on Syria with the participation of the United States, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, which is called to become an "important addition" to Astana and Geneva. "Our desire in this new small group is to create a bridge between the Geneva process and the Astana process to negotiate and unite all the allies in the region, to open a line of communication with Russia and Turkey. This is the only way to correct the situation in Syria in the long term, "the politician concluded.. Russian politicians have apprehended the intention of Macron to intensify the participation of France in the fight against terrorists in Syria.

"Instead of conducting a consistent struggle against terrorism, which is leading our country, instead of providing economic assistance to the Syrian people today in the humanitarian catastrophe that resulted, among other things, from the policy of the West, today we hear only declarations, and there are very few real cases" , - said the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee for International Affairs Aleksey Chepa. According to him, the words and deeds of Macron and other Western politicians "diverge diametrically". For example, missile strikes on the positions of government troops of Syria on April 14 "only play into the hands of terrorists".
