“The strengthening of the NATO group near the maritime borders of Syria looks like a provocation and can mean training the Alliance for possible strikes against a sovereign state,” said member of the International Affairs Committee Sergei Zheleznyak. – These dangerous maneuvers must be carefully monitored by the UN Security Council in order to prevent aggression and the subsequent tragedy following it.

He also called indicative the tightening of NATO naval forces to the shores of Syria precisely against the background of the planned high-level talks between Russia and Turkey. As one of the main topics, it was precisely the discussion of the situation in the RAA. Earlier, the government of the republic, Russia and its partners in the settlement of the Syrian conflict announced their intention to completely eliminate the remnants of terrorists in Idlib. After that, there was an activation of the Western coalition led by the United States, Zheleznyak said.

He also considers the links between “the beginning of an open preparation for a provocation with pseudo-intelligence from the White Helmets, which are financed from the West” and immediately followed by “the next threats of sanctions against our country from the Capitol Hill.”

According to the politician, the main goal of the combination of the United States and its controlled NATO is to weaken Russia’s position in the world arena and to contain peacekeeping efforts in Syria. In addition, the United States and its satellites would like to see Syria weak and fragmented in order to “turn it into a permanent center of instability.”

“But the barbarous Western plans will not allow the Syrian people to materialize, which, with the support of Russia, has gained faith in victory and is trying to bring peace to its native land,” the parliamentarian is sure.
