Sochi hosted a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar Assad. The United States could not miss this event and again poured a flood of Syrian lies. US State Department spokesman Heather Nauert stressed that the Assad regime is the most cruel in the world, and Russia and Iran grossly violate international law, supporting the policy. "The suffering that was inflicted on the Syrian people by the Assad regime and its Iranian and Russian patrons is disgusting," she said.. At the same time Washington once again unsubstantiously accused the head of the RAA in the use of chemical weapons against its citizens. Naubert noted that the Americans will not lag behind Assad until he stops his cruelty, which leads to the destruction of the country, the message says.. Putin and Assad did not pay attention to accusations of the West and met in Sochi, where they discussed topical issues, the Kremlin website.

The Russian president stressed that the terrorists, thanks to the Syrian army, had already laid down their arms in key points of the country. Putin pointed out that for this reason the foreign armed forces must leave Syria. Assad agreed with the proposal and said that the Syrian people can safely return to their homes and live in security.
