Russian troops blocked in Syria: fear destruction.


Russian troops in a difficult situation in Syria
The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported that hundreds of Russian soldiers are in a difficult situation in Syria, as they cannot reach the airbase in Khmeimim due to fear of being shelled.
Colonel of the Russian army Dmitry Motrenko is trying to obtain security guarantees through negotiations with representatives of the military contingents of other countries in Syria. Currently, Russian troops are waiting near the T4 airfield.
About a thousand Russian soldiers set off for Tartus and the airbase in Khmeimim; mercenaries from Russian private military companies, including the 'African Corps', have arrived in Syria to ensure their safety.
Russia plans a large-scale evacuation, which will involve at least 25 military transport aircraft that will transport troops, weapons, and equipment to Russian cities: Rostov-on-Don, Chkalovsk, and Vladivostok.
Intelligence also draws attention to an additional danger: some armed groups disguise themselves as Russian units, looking for Russian flags on their columns for unhindered movement along the M4 highway.
It should be noted that Russia began withdrawing military equipment from Syria after Assad's flight to Moscow.
