Russia supports Syria’s demand for withdrawal of illegitimate foreign forces from its territory, Nebenzya says

New York, SANA- Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya stressed that his country supports Syria’s demand for the withdrawal of the illegitimate presence of foreign forces in the country.

“The situation in Syria is totally unstable, due to the attacks carried out by “Israel”, which continues to carry out random strikes on Syrian infrastructure facilities, as well as due to the illegitimate presence of US forces” TASS reported Nebenzya as saying at a UN Security Council meeting on the humanitarian and political situation in Syria.

“The situation in the region remains extremely turbulent amid ongoing military activities in the zone of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the high risk that neighboring countries will get involved. Meanwhile, the causes for concern about the humanitarian situation in Syria are only growing,” Nebenzya said.

Nebenzya noted to the continued presence of terrorist hotbeds in Idleb and northeastern Syria.

According to Nebenzya, Russia believes that “it’s only possible to achieve sustainable unity in the Syrian Arab Republic by putting an end to foreign military presence and violations of the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as by ending regular strikes by the Israeli Air Force.”
