    Russian embassy UK is one of the most aggressive Russian info warfare centers of excellence.....has a massive record for spreading fake news and outright lies.....in the form of tweets....

    Russian Embassy, UK
    ✔ @RussianEmbassy @ShirazMaher you precisely support terrorists from al-Nusra&affiliates, & just refused 2 condemn them killing ���� doctors who treated Syrians

    Russian Embassy, UK
    ✔ @RussianEmbassy @ShirazMaher cruelty of Al-Nusra and their "moderate" friends is well known. Use civilians as human shield, shoot those who flee to safety

    Shiraz Maher
    ✔ @ShirazMaher @RussianEmbassy and Russian aggression?

    Shiraz Maher
    ✔ @ShirazMaher I assume @Amb_Yakovenko will be calling for a full investigation.


    Shiraz Maher
    ✔ @ShirazMaher @RussianEmbassy more libel. You really want to go down this road? I'll invite you to retract these smears and won't be engaging further.

    Russian Embassy, UK
    ✔ @RussianEmbassy @ShirazMaher smear is calling "war criminals" a legitimate force fighting extremists (who are a threat to UK as well)

    Shiraz Maher
    ✔ @ShirazMaher @RussianEmbassy actually, I don't. I've called out the terrorists loads. But also happy to call out the repeated, daily war crimes of Russia

    Russian Embassy, UK
    ✔ @RussianEmbassy @ShirazMaher why not condemn war crime by "moderates" killing Russian nurses? Russia brings Syrians peace and food, you side with terrorists

    NOTICE the Russian Embassy UK say nothing about their own air strikes against 45 Syrian hospitals and medical facilities....and medical supply warehouses....

    Shiraz Maher
    ✔ @ShirazMaher @RussianEmbassy committing war crimes on a daily basis: bombing hospitals, schools, & besieged civilians. You're proud cos you have no shame

    Russian Embassy, UK
    ✔ @RussianEmbassy @ShirazMaher Russian Air Force is in Syria by invitation of its Government, proudly defending Syrian people from extremists

    Michael Weiss
    ✔ @michaeldweiss Russian embassy in London accuses one of the leading British scholars on Salafi-jihadism of 'supporting terrorists':

    All of Trump’s cabinet and transition team picks seem to share an expertise in the dark art of disinformation.

    Congressman+possible secretary of state asks U.S. journalist where she's from. Calls her biased after she says she's originally from Moldova

    German intel chief: Russian info/cyber ops seek to weaken/destabilize Germany, strengthen extremist groups & parties http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ge...-idUSKBN13X15D

    Far too little attention is being paid to the quite astounding efforts by Russia to undermine democracies on both sides of the Atlantic.

    Aleppo: Rebels have repelled all attacks by pro-#Assad forces in besieged Eastern #Aleppo today. No gains for #Assad regime today.

    Homs: #Palmyra hospital is full with killed and wounded pro-#Assad forces. Fierce fighting around #Palmyra.

    "Russian nurses killed in Aleppo" - Russian propaganda caught red handed with faked photos, replaced the photographs.

    BS.

    The IRGC was assaulting the whole day. They just didn't get through: the insurgents inside what is now actually Southern Aleppo (city) have regroupped under the banner of Liwa Ashida'a (FSyA), led by Abu Abd Ashida'a, from Sukari District. These are Aleppans, protecting their families and homes: they'll not give up just like that.

    As described above, the situation is actually such that Russians are trying to negotiate some sort of a cease-fire in order to score PR-points on the international scene, and present themselves as 'in control' of what is going on in Syria.

    Actually, they have no say there: they can make their agreements with Turkey, Egypt, babble about 'Syrian Army', even send their troops to fight in Aleppo etc., but the only place relevant for what Assadists are doing, is Tehran, and all the forces in Aleppo are IRGC-controlled.

    Assad: The liberation of the eastern part of Aleppo lately wasn't part of a political process. It was in the natural context of military ops


    Assad: After their failure in Damascus battles, they resorted to Homs and after they failed in Homs they went to Aleppo...

    .. the significance of Aleppo was that it was close to Turkey, better for logistical support so they focused on it over the past 2 years.

    Assad: Damascus with Homs and Aleppo (lost), that means they no longer have cards with which they can play with their backers.

    The newspaper asks Assad about "the saying": Whoever wins the battle in Aleppo wins the war in Syria. Assad: let's assume it's correct...

    Assad: Damascus & Aleppo are the two most important cities. Whoever wins militarily [there] makes a major political+military achievement.

    Assad: for Aleppo, because the Turkish project is built around it, that makes it particularly important.

    Assad: the battle in Aleppo will be a win but we have to be realistic it doesn't mean the end of the war in Syria. A major step for the end.

    Assad says throughout the history of Russia-Syria relationship, Moscow never dictated anything on us even when we had our differences.

    Assad: Their agents are in a difficult position, so you hear them scream & wail now. Pleas for truces is the only left political discourse.

    Watan asks: can we say that truces have ended now?

    Assad: practically, they no longer exist. They still insist on truces, especially the US

    Watan to Assad: we heard Turkish diplomats visited Damascus & there was talk about a shift in Turkish position, before their intervention!

    Assad: after Turkey intervened, Syria has the right to defend its territory but there are military priorities that impose themselves.

    Assad: as long as the man leading the Turkish politics is a psychologically disturbed and twisted person like Erdogan, all bets are off.

    Watan: then you described the intervention as 'invasion', will things reach a point of military confrontation with Turkey if that continues?

    Assad: "We defend the Russian people by preventing terrorism from coming to Russia. They've said in more than one occasion."

    Assad says including when we went to Lebanon and we were heavily reliant on them. That's a Russian culture, they respect sovereignty.
