A spokesman for the Russian diplomatic mission, Sergey Markov, said: "In the area of ​​the Tartus-Homs highway, three citizens were abducted. One of them is Russian, the second has dual citizenship - Russian-Syrian, the third is stolen - Italian citizen."

Currently, the Russian Embassy in Syria is taking active measures to establish the location of the Russians, ITAR-TASS reports. All abductees are employees of a private enterprise.

[Wedmak]

It may sound somewhat cynical, but Assad’s army is now gaining invaluable experience in fighting against terrorists. It would be necessary for our people to carefully look at this, and adopt experience - it will always come in handy.

But how to act in that foreign duck (during the war in Lebanon), find the ringleader-six, cut off his balls, stuff him in his mouth and send him to Qatar, to the SSA office with an urgent note and a note: the same procedure with you all in turn, without anesthesia.

The Russian embassy in Damascus confirmed the abduction of two Russians and an Italian who worked for private companies in Syria.
Meanwhile, a detachment of the Baltic Fleet ships, consisting of the Yaroslav the Wise patrol ship, the Kaliningrad and Alexander Shabalin large landing ships, the SB-921 rescue tug, and the Lena tanker, advanced to the shores of the country's civil war. On board the BDK are marine units.
“Marines, if an order is received to evacuate Russian citizens from Syria, will have to cover the evacuation center in Tartus. They were not assigned the task of releasing the hostages, ”said Argumenty.ru in the High Command of the Navy.
Also, according to the officer, the command of the Navy is now not up to the leadership of the campaign. “The entire Navy Commander-in-Chief, cut back by Serdyukov, is developing a rationale for transferring from St. Petersburg back to Moscow. Since it’s supposedly just turned out that the Admiralty’s building has no channels of special secure communication with the 109th Central Communications Center in Balashikha, Moscow Region, ”the officer is indignant.
The initiative to transfer the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy to the northern capital belonged to former State Duma Speaker B. Gryzlov and ex-Governor V. Matvienko. And it was warmly supported by Serdyukov. How many billions it took to move and how much it will take to return is a military secret.

Unidentified persons abducted Russian citizens following a car V.V. Gorelov and Abdessattar Hassun, who also had Syrian citizenship. Together with them, an Italian citizen Mario Belluomo was captured. All three are employees of the steelmaking company Khmisho & Co., located in the industrial zone of Khasiya near Homs ... The kidnappers of Russians and an Italian citizen over the phone put forward the specified company the requirement to pay the ransom as a condition for their release, ”the statement said.

Baltic Fleet ships moving to the coast of Syria to evacuate the Russians

A detachment of warships and auxiliary vessels sent the Baltic Fleet to the coast of Syria.

According to a source in Baltiysk, the patrol ship Yaroslav Mudry, large landing ships Kaliningrad and Alexander Shabalin, the Lena tanker and a tug left Baltiysk on a long voyage to the Mediterranean Sea. They are heading to the shores of Syria for possible participation in the evacuation of Russian citizens.

The campaign was being prepared in a certain hurry, but was highly classified, information about it appeared in recent days, Interfax notes. The time for the return of the ships to Baltiysk by the command has not been determined, since it depends on the development of the situation in Syria. It is possible that some of the ships will be sent with the evacuated citizens to the Russian ports of the Black Sea.

[Alexander Romanov]

What will our government do? to pay the ransom, but given the attitude of the militants towards Russia they will simply be killed, not the embassy, ​​but the special services should establish the location and release them. Here's the news ....
A few days ago the large landing ship (BDK) of the Baltic Fleet Kaliningrad began urgent preparations for a long voyage to the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This was reported to the Central Naval Portal by a source in the Baltic Fleet.

The crew of the large landing craft "Kaliningrad", located in Baltiysk, at the end of last week received an order from the command of the fleet on urgent preparation for a campaign in the Mediterranean Sea, to the shores of Syria. According to a source of the portal, the official task of the campaign is to evacuate Russian citizens who are in the zone of armed conflict between the rebels and troops loyal to the Bashar al-Assad regime. The planned duration of the trip is 2 months.

If this is true, then the decision is right. Soon the denouement. Syria will not hold back. Russia is leaving, apparently agreed, at least to take out the people.

[Wedmak]

If this is true, then the decision is right. Soon the denouement. Syria will not hold back. Russia is leaving, apparently agreed, at least to take out the people.

It’s not a fact that he’s leaving, but that the people are taken out of trouble, they’ve done well. It is worth recalling that there is still a large ship group, which also includes the 3 BDK. With marines on board.

[Thunderbolt]

it’s important to me: everyone knows about the BDK, but how many marine forces are on them?

[Thunderbolt]

And yet. It’s for me that these "SSA statements" are first written in warm offices, and only then voiced by terrorists. And this is not "just a business", but a clear sign of Russia, because the hostilities have been going on for a long time, and the Russians were taken for the first time.

[Wedmak]

So this has long been understood. There is no SSA, there is a bunch of bandits and terrorists receiving money from these warmest cabinets. Where these offices are located, I think in general it is not necessary to voice.

[Wedmak]

Exact numbers did not seem to be there. Either the battalion, or just to protect the ships.

[ser86]

21 2012 June The Russian authorities began preparations for the evacuation of Russian citizens from Syria in case of exacerbation of clashes in this country or foreign military intervention

http://www.stoletie.ru/lenta/rossijan_gotovat_k_evakuacii_iz_sirii_683.htm

they wanted to evacuate in June, which prevented it from being understood.
Now while the ships are on the way, these Islamists will try to steal someone else

[Wedmak]

But this is already bad. If diplomats do not work and threats or blackmail follow, this already implies a military operation against the kidnappers in response.
For the murder (I really hope that this will not come to this) - a comparison with the land of a couple of bandit camps.

The army is unlikely, but the special forces group - it was easy to arrange. A normal country will do so. Let's see what ours will do. Even if they are already in Turkey, this does not mean that they do not need to be released.

And I did not speak about the ransom. The Foreign Ministry can forever threaten with a cam. An example of this is Churkin’s epic response to the representative of Qatar.

[Thunderbolt]

Quote: Wedmak

Churkin's response to the representative of Qatar.

Churkin’s ironic answer in the form of a question: “And you, you signed an agreement with Ghalioun similar to those that you received with the Libyans, on the right to intelligence with the participation of Americans, British and French? Or is this deal more extensive and will include the Red Sea-Haifa-Beirut-Banias gas pipeline, and maybe Homs can be located on the route of the Iranian and Russian gas pipeline projects? What do you say now playing open poker, although I know that you are just an amateur? Starting with gas fields in the Mediterranean, in which Israel offered Russia's participation in exchange for recognition of Israeli sovereignty over some offshore zones! "

Hamad understood: “So there’s no need to continue, you intend to thwart the Arab resolution, you lose the Arabs, and you will pay for your position.”

Churkin stands in front of Hamad letting him know that the interview is over, puts his hand on his shoulder and says: “I have a meeting with the Syrian representative Jafari about this resolution, but I would like to remind you that your state did not exist on the map at that time, when the Russian fleet sailed between the waves in the Persian Gulf two centuries ago. And remember, a story is sometimes reproduced in the form of a comedy, so don’t become the hero of this comedy, when laughter is inappropriate, this is the tragedy that is happening today. ”

[Wedmak]

Plus you. He said so said. Although I prefer a less diplomatic translation.
"Once again blurt out something in that tone, and your Qatar will not live to see tomorrow." This is somehow better perceived by the "apostles" of democracy.

Actually, the United States can enter spetsnaz for any country to protect its citizens, but Russia will not have enough spirit (I mean our government), because they are afraid of losing their money (which are in foreign banks). Here is our guide, they sell people for money!

it was definitely necessary without western shit

[Oleg14774]

What will the Italian Foreign Ministry do? They said that the militants are very "decent" people! Here the Italians have nothing to cover! Russia is directly forced to get involved in the war. This is very bad. It is necessary to destroy the top of the terrorists, they gave a reason. Eliminate the top, others will understand that it was not possible to get the heat with someone else's hands, and they will think a hundred times. And simple militants are just consumables. Having removed them, new ones will be found, in contrast to the top, which values ​​itself.

But if everything is successful, then shut up and think that joking with the Russian Federation is not very profitable.

[TRex]

What "group"? The abduction of our citizens should be considered as a reason for the introduction of units of the RF Armed Forces into this area for conducting a search operation, blocking illegal armed groups, ensuring the safety of other Russian citizens living and working in Syria, evacuating civilians and for other humanitarian purposes .. And at least 5-6 brigades ... with air defense, BRAV, etc. according to the full scheme.
And the "partners" must understand us - they always do this and do not ask anyone.

"Partners" have a very good trump card at home. A huge propaganda machine. And she is now sharpened to drag us into this war, to prevent us from developing, to bleed our economy. And then just destroy us as a state. So it’s impossible to climb there according to the full scheme!

Wedmak!
Then you need to wipe the snot, shut up and start the evacuation of your people, not waiting for them to begin to be cut like sheep.
And what will our Foreign Ministry say there and what kind of indignation will Comrade Comrade express? Lavrov - no one should be interested. No options?
Or from the "partners" to take a solemn promise that they are more "no, no" ... but only Assad will be put in the armature - and that's it ...?
Remember how they swore that NATO would not go east after the reunification of Germany?

[Wedmak]

Remember how they swore that NATO would not go east after the reunification of Germany?

I remember very well. And as for the evacuation, isn’t that why there are 3 BDKs with guards and marines on board off the coast of Syria? And BDK (probably also not one will go) is going there for a walk? The question is different. A short operation to free the hostages (which will only strengthen our positions) or a full-scale invasion, they say, they beat us. Here is the last democrats and seek. Under this case, it will be very easy to open another front against us, this time with real force - first by economic sanctions, and then by democratic bombing.

[TRex]

Well, about the "democratic bombing" you turned it down, of course ... Although, the devil only knows, who will control Russian nuclear weapons in the future? We still have a couple of "modernizations" of the aircraft and KAPUT in general. The guys will come to the Kremlin for negotiations, and they will come out with our nuclear briefcase ... like "the elder said - drop it!"
As for the three BDKs - at one time I visited and even went to them. These are boxes of Polish construction. There the length of the tweendeck is 100 meters. Take a reinforced company, no more. And where are the civilians? And the aviation component of the special operation?
I would not want the losses to be among the boys. In this composition, without support, in a foreign territory ... a problem.

I would not want the losses to be among the boys. In this composition, without support, in a foreign territory ... a problem.

Well, actually I didn’t mean the guys from the BDK, these are all the same ground attack aircraft, not special forces. I just expressed that such an operation can be carried out as, where, by whom - these are already some serious issues.

By the way, have you heard that the GRU has long been removed from that region? And this - there is no information, no residency - no, there is nothing - the brothers land in a pure field ...

I heard that the GRU was disbanded, or rather significantly reduced. This is a big mistake. And as for the information - how do ours help Assad with intelligence. information? These are the facts.

The BDK is used as a transport, there are "pills from democracy" on board. We have people who like to check the cargo, but a large landing ship with an escort is not "Alaid" to deprive you of insurance;

During the abduction of our citizens in Lebanon, the hostages were released by sending eggs to the kidnappers of one of the relatives.

Well, just think, two more people ... Yes, on our roads every day they die ... No, then it's dangerous. And pay the ransom ?! What do you mean! Serdyukov 3 billion + Glonas 7 billion + pipe business in St. Petersburg 3 billion + Skrynnik (chief physician of Switzerland) 40 billion So if for these two more (or twenty, there is no difference), how will we pay our pension?

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation published the names of Russian citizens who were abducted in Syria on December 17. It: V.V. Gorelov and Abdessattar Hassun (also having Syrian citizenship). Earlier, the Italian Foreign Ministry reported that, together with the Russians, the Italian engineer Mario Belluomo was kidnapped.

"All three are employees of the steel production company Khmisho and Co, located in the Hasia industrial zone near Homs," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, the abductors are demanding a ransom. The redemption amount is not called.

The Russian Foreign Ministry "once again confirms the urgent recommendation to all Russian citizens to refrain from visiting Syria, which is going through a period of acute armed internal conflict."

At the same time, a number of Russian and Western media (in particular, the AFP agency) report that the ships of the Russian Navy were again sent to the Syrian shores to evacuate Russian citizens. The reports say that, according to official figures, about 5.000 Russians are in Syria, but in reality there can be up to 30.000 of them in this country.

Syrian militants postponed the execution of Ukrainian journalist Ankhar Kochneva, who was abducted in October. According to them, they were going to kill her on December 16. Prior to that, it was reported that the execution would take place on December 13. However, the commander of the group, Abu Jandal, gave an interview to the Ukrainian TV channel "1 + 1", in which he said that "he gives Kochneva another chance," NEWSru.com reports.

The militants who kidnapped Ankhar and accuse her of espionage say that the Ukrainian authorities are doing nothing to save the hostage. “This girl stayed with us for a long time, no one answered our appeals when we asked what they could offer us to be released. No one answered, no one seemed to be engaged,” the 1 + 1 TV channel quotes Abu Jandal as saying.

Abu Jandal did not say what requirements were put forward. Earlier in the media, information was published that the abductors are demanding a ransom of $ 50 million.

On the evening of December 17, it became known that three more foreigners were abducted in Syria: two Russians, whose names are not yet known, and Italian engineer Mario Belluomo. The abduction was committed near the port city of Latakia. According to the Italian Foreign Ministry, all three worked in a steel mill. The kidnappers have not yet made any demands.

On the evening of December 12, the militants who captured the Russian-Ukrainian journalist Ankhar Kochneva published another video message in which they said: “The Ukrainian embassy, ​​the Russian embassy, ​​the citizens of these countries, as well as the Iranians will henceforth be the prey and target for all our forces. We urge not to release any Ukrainian, Russian, or Iranian alive from Syria. " This was the reaction of the Syrian militants to the statement of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry regarding the capture of journalist Ankhar Kochneva.

It was reported last week that the commanders of the so-called "Free Syrian Army" Abu Jandal and Farid Abu Hussein were threatening to kill Kochneva on December 13 if they did not receive a $ 50 million ransom.

In response to these threats, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said: “Ukraine once again expresses deep concern about the situation around Ankhar Kochneva, which is illegally held in Syria by a group that calls itself a unit of the Free Syrian Army. The Ukrainian side is taking comprehensive measures to release the captured Ukrainian woman at the same level the state, including in cooperation with international partners, and with the involvement of public and religious organizations "(quoted by the Interfax agency).

Journalist Anhar Kochneva was captured by militants on October 8, presumably near the town of El Quseir, near Homs. On November 7, a video message from Kochneva was posted on the Internet, in which she spoke in Arabic: "My name is Anhar, I am now in the city of Homs, and I ask the Ukrainian and Russian embassies and the Syrian government to fulfill what the kidnappers demand." Nothing was reported about the kidnappers' claims in the appeal.

Hmm ..... And they are responsible for their words, well, let's see what will happen next - here, in the literal sense, a war has been declared between Russia and Ukraine, as the rebels called to catch our citizens. And our Foreign Ministry (Ukrainian) In addition to condemnations and a joint application with the UN and the League of Arab States, is not doing anything. And here it would only be worth frightening alpha ..
By the way I do not understand why Russia is silent? It is in her interests to send troops there! In your country, Putin adopted the law back in 2008 on the protection of citizens abroad !!!!

I think that the liberation operation is of course needed, but the main thing is to do everything clearly and quickly: with the least losses and so that neither the Americans nor the terrorists manage to come to their senses. in addition, it would be useful to work with cruise missiles at the positions of the SSA. in the arsenal of tu95 or tu 160 should there be missiles with a range of 1000-2000 km?
