The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) commended Russia's part in the deliveries of humanitarian aid to besieged areas of war-torn Syria, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Friday.



MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov met with Regional Director for the Middle East at the ICRC Robert Mardini. The sides discussed humanitarian aspects of the situation in the Middle East and North Africa, particularly, in Syria, Libya and Yemen.

"In this context, the ICRC appreciated the role of Russia, including that in the framework of coordination with other members of the International Syria Support Group and the Syrian Government, to promote international efforts for the delivery of humanitarian aid to the besieged population centers in Syria in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions 2254 and 2268, " the ministry said in a statement.

Over Twenty Tons of Russian-Syrian Humanitarian Aid Delivered to Hama Province
Russia has been providing humanitarian assistance to some of the Syrian areas besieged by extremist forces, as well as assisting international coordination and aid agencies.


According to the statement, both sides noted the urgent need to ensure conditions for the delivery of humanitarian assistance to people in need.

Shortly before the meeting with the Russian diplomat, Mardini said he might submit a draft proposal, which involves the negotiations on the greater contribution of Russia to the ICRC's tasks in Syria.

Helping Hand: Russian Military Delivers Six Tonnes of Humanitarian Aid to Syrian Towns
Syria has been in a state of civil war since 2011, with the army loyal to President Bashar Assad fighting several opposition factions and militant groups, including Daesh, which is outlawed in Russia and many other countries.


Last December’s UN Security Council Resolution 2254 seeks to end bombardments in Syria, and demands humanitarian access to the besieged towns. The UNSC Resolution 2268, which was based on an agreement reached by Russia and the United states, and unanimously adopted by the Council, provides for the ceasefire in Syria. The accord took effect on February 27, with the ceasefire generally holding across the country despite reported minor violations.

Poetic justice: SAS sniper blows head off ISIS chief who taught jihadis how to DECAPITATE

A crack SAS sniper blew the head off an ISIS commander
The crack soldier fired a bullet designed to inflict massive damage from three quarters of a mile away and scored a direct hit on the extremist.

His rifle was so high-powered that the bullet decapitated the bearded warrior, who stood well over six feet tall.

Some 20 ISIS recruits saw the precision killing and fled

The fearsome recruiter for ISIS, also known as Dash, was gunned down in the middle of a drill teaching new soldiers how to execute prisoners.

One minute he was standing there and the next his head had exploded'

SAS source​

Military sources said he was demonstrating a cutting motion with his arm when the bullet hit.

Some 20 junior fighters were taking part in the outdoor lesson when their commander was killed before their eyes.

One military witness said the entire group fled in terror and deserted the jihadi cause, a source told the Daily Star Sunday.

The sniper, operating in northern Syria, used a [Israeli-made] Dan .338 rifle with ammo that "tumbles" which it hits a target - inflicting a huge wound.

He had to aim more than a foot wide of the mark to adjust for wind conditions, but hit his target first time.

Suppressing equipment meant that flashes and noise from the shot were kept to a minimum and the soldier went undetected.

Although the British Army has steered clear of an all-out ground war with ISIS, highly-trained SAS squads have been deployed in small numbers.

Recently it emerged that troops were setting desert death traps for jihadis by laying out dummies dressed as enemy officers.

The victorious British sniper was supported in his mission by more than a dozen SAS comrades.

Two four-man teams sneaked into a jihadi compound to set up their vantage point 12 hours ahead of the kill.

Meanwhile a secondary team of 12 waited beyond the combat zone ready to extract the men in case the mission went wrong.

Sources say the sniper’s target was an easy mark because he wears white robes instead of the traditional ISIS black.

One military insider said: “One minute he was standing there and the next his head had exploded.

“The commander remained standing upright for a couple of seconds before collapsing and that’s when panic set in.

“We later heard most of the recruits deserted. We got rid of 21 terrorists with one bullet.”

Don't believe these Hollywood-inspired fictions. Super duper SAS-Navy Seals etc kill major ISIS terrorist who taught others how to behead from 1000 kms away. Yep, that'd make a typical low budget Hollywood film for you. The best part? They are said to have done it with an Israeli rifle. All the Good against the Evil.

Its bolt action sniper rifle, AK is automatic assault gun. The only common thing between two is that both are rifles.

Dont be jealous. By the way article does not mention that rifle was Israeli, it only tells a model name. 99.9% of people dont have a clue what this model means.

Amid a ceasefire arrangement that has restored calm to much of Syria and the promise of Aleppo regaining access to electricity, the Syrian Army and the country's National Defense Force have continued a joint offensive against terrorist groups in the western province of Latakia, media reports said.

A swath of strategic areas has reportedly been liberated bythe Syrian Army and the country's National Defense Force (NDF) in the northeastern mountains ofLatakia Province in western Syria.



During the latest offensive, the Syrian troops managed to drive the remaining terrorists from their positions at Latakia's border with Idlib province, according to the Iranian news agency FARS.

Government forces additionally retook a number of key sites along the Aleppo-Latakia Highway (M-4 Highway), in an advance that paved the way for the Syrian Army to reach the hilltops overlooking the strategic city of Jisr al-Shughour, located in the southern part of Idlib province.

The offensive came just a few days after the Syrian Army and the NDF liberated several strategic villages and a strategic height in Latakia province.

In separate development, Russian warplanes conducted a series of airstrikes on Daesh positions in the eastern part of Homs province in central Syria.

The aircraft destroyed a whole array of Daesh targets, including the terrorists' oil smuggling route to Turkey located near the ancient city of Palmyra, according toFARS.

Earlier, the Syrian forces launched an offensive against Daesh terrorists southeast of Homs province, liberating the strategic village of al-Bayarat, sources said.

In February 2015, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2268, endorsing the Russia-US agreement on the cessation of hostilities in Syria, shortly before the ceasefire came into force on February 27.

Confidential: NATO Report Praises Russia’s Superiority in Syria
The cessation of hostilities does not apply to designated terrorist organizations operating in Syria, includingDaesh and the Al-Nusra Front.


Adding to the Syrian Army's anti-terror effort is Russia's ongoing air campaign which was launched on September 30, when more than fifty Russian warplanes, including Su-24M, Su-25 and Su-34 jets, commenced precision airstrikes on Daesh and Al-Nusra Front targets in Syria at the behest of President Assad.

The Russian Defense Ministry said in turn that "Russian aircraft are not performing strikes in those regions where a willingness to cease fire and to start negotiations were expressed."

I was reading the article and the same thing came to mind. It sounds too Hollywood esc. In real life the SAS would just call in an airstrike and eliminate everyone instead of risking giving away their presence and even letting some of the ISIS fighters escape.


SAS commandos secretly operating in Syria, deep in ISIS controlled territory, just so happen to see a mock rehearsal of a beheading and from a thousand miles away an elite SAS sniper takes out the ISIS instructor wile the other ISIS students flee in terror.

The British are nutorious for over exaggerating, just like they did in the Battle of Britain where Britain claimed far....far more German aircraft kills then what was actually documented.

Do u know how much time it takes to reach from airbase in Bahrain to North Iraq or Syria?

British exaggerations were not even close to other armies exaggerations.
