It is noted that in early August, Bashar Assad and his assistants from Iran, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Palestine launched an offensive against the units of IGIL in Syria. In addition, not without the support of Russian VCS.

Nevertheless, the Russian Federation began this war not so much against IGIL, as against the enemies of Assad. And the purpose of such actions is to get oil-rich territories.

It should be noted that especially the Russians are interested in the city of Deir ez-Zor. Its capture will allow the control of vast territories rich in oil.

As previously reported by URA-Inform, on the Independence Day of Ukraine, on August 24, the United Nations commissioned a humanitarian break in the battles for the Syrian city of Rakka.
