UPDATED 10:05 AM PT — Thurs. February 22, 2018Russia is reportedly sending more military aircraft to Syria to ramp up its operation against rebels near Damascus.
Russia is sending its newest warplanes to support the offensive of pro-Assad forces against rebels in the Eastern Ghouta and Homs regions.
Russian media reports two of the jets have arrived at Russia’s main airbase in Syria.
The fighting in Eastern Ghouta has intensified in recent days, causing mounting casualties on both sides.
The Syrian government, backed by the Russian aerospace forces and military contractors on the ground, said curbing rebel resistance is key to ensuring peace in the country.
Meanwhile, airstrikes by Syrian and Russian air forces continue to pound eastern Ghouta.
U.N. pleas for a ceasefire continued this week as the coalition places pressure on Russia to use its influence to call for a month-long peace deal.
300 people have been killed in Ghouta since Sunday.
The U.N. has warned about the escalating humanitarian crisis, saying a ceasefire is necessary in order to send emergency supplies to civilians still trapped in the region.
Russia has rejected calls for a ceasefire, claiming it could hinder efforts to combat rebel groups and terrorists in the region.

Hate agreeing with Russia just on GP, but I agree with Russia's stance. You don't win a war by letting the enemy call time out. Newsflash for all the Europ*ssies and leftwing nut wimps here at home: War is inhumane. Don't start them. If one DOES start, don't expect for to be held around you at your convenience. Get out of the line of fire? Novel concept, I know. Kinda like lefties sitting in the path of a hurricane and wondering why they got hit by a hurricane :rolleyes:
I can relate to Assad on one level -- enemies of the state are trying to take his country kinda like the leftwingnuts here. He's willing to fight for it.
Otherwise, Assad's a POS, but a secular one. Last despotic secular regime we overthrew brought us ISIS.
