Russia sends warship to Syria to prevent Libyan scenario

Russia has sent yet another warship to Syria in support of its leader Bashar al-Assad and to show of solidarity with this embattled leader. Many are calling for Mr Assad to resign his position. Yevgeny Satanovsky, President of the Institute of Israeli and Middle East Studies, underscores that Russia’s actions can be explained by its concerns that if the current regime in the country is replaced it will entail rivers of blood, millions of refuges and hundreds of thousands of victims among Syria’s Christian community.
