President Vladimir Putin met with servicemen who were carrying out an antiterrorist mission in Syria. Award List
Special words of gratitude - to military women. On a par with men with steadfastness and dignity, you are in a difficult service. Your choice of profession and life path causes great respect.
Thank you all for your dedication to the Fatherland.
Vladimir Putin noted the importance of Russia's contribution to the peace process in Syria, in establishing an active dialogue to resolve the Syrian crisis. At the same time, the president said that Russia would continue to closely monitor ceasefire violations, and also outlined the tasks of the remaining contingent in the SAR:
Our bases in Syria - Tartus and Hamim - whose personnel will continue to serve here, are reliably protected from land, sea and air. All components of the deployed air defense system, including the Pantsir short-range and Triumph C-400 short-range complexes, will be on permanent combat duty.
I note that we have largely restored the potential of Syrian air defense. All interested parties are warned and aware of all this. We proceed from the fundamental international norms: no one has the right to violate the airspace of a sovereign country, in this case Syria.
We have created and effectively operate a mechanism to prevent incidents in the air with the American side, but all partners have been warned and know that our air defense systems will be used for any purposes that we consider to be a threat to Russian military personnel. I want to emphasize: for any purpose.
Of course, we will continue to support the legitimate government of Syria. It is comprehensive. This is financial assistance, the supply of equipment and weapons, assistance in training, organizing and coordinating the Syrian armed forces, this is intelligence support, staff assistance in planning operations. And finally, this is immediate, direct support. I mean the use of space grouping, strike and fighter aviation. Those Russian forces that remain in Syria are enough to solve the tasks.
We will continue to assist the Syrian army and the authorities in their fight against the so-called "Islamic State" and "Jabhat al-Nusra", other terrorist groups, recognized as I said, by those of the UN Security Council. Our uncompromising attitude towards terrorists has not changed.
What will be the balance of power, given the reduction of the Russian group? Balance will be provided.
He called Vladimir Putin and the approximate amount that had to be paid from the budget of the Russian Federation for the Syrian operation. This is 33 billion rubles. And according to the president, the allocation of these funds in the budget was envisaged.
The president:
However, according to the president, a great loss is our comrades.
