Evgeny Kiselev: "Syrian puzzle"

“By the way, if peace negotiations on Syria do not lead to anything and the civil war resumes with renewed vigor, Assad’s troops may begin to lose again without Russian support.

They say that the West has begun to treat the Kremlin differently. Again he respects him, again he considers him an influential player, and again he is negotiating. Maybe someone really imagined something, and someone crossed themselves: mind me! Maybe some people respected him, but others didn’t. This is all from the realm of subjective perception. Moreover, the West is different. In the USA - one thing, in Germany - another, in the UK - a third.

But as for negotiations, the West is ready to conduct them even with terrorists who have taken hostages. The very fact of negotiations does not mean anything."
