UK’s Prime Minister, David Cameron, has finally broken silence on Russia’s intervention in Syria and accused Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin, of supporting the “the butcher” Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, rather than fighting terrorism in Syria. The statement was made despite the fact that the UK is not currently actively conducting air strikes in Syria.
Cameron highlighted that Russia is not discriminating between Isis and non-Islamist opposition forces engulfed in a bloody civil war against the Syrian regime. He stated that “it’s absolutely clear that Russia is not discriminating between Isil (Isis) and the legitimate Syrian opposition groups and, as a result, they are actually backing the butcher Assad and helping him and really making the situation worse.” Mr. Cameron mentioned that “rightly, they have been condemned across the Arab world for what they have done and I think the Arab world is right about that,” adding “but we should be using this moment now to try to force forward a comprehensive plan to bring political transition in Syria because that is the answer for bringing peace to the region.”
The UK Prime Minister is anticipated to soon extend British air strikes from Iraq into Syria. Several countries in the US-led coalition are already actively conducting airstrikes in the region. Earlier Cameron’s bid to start airstrikes in Syria was turned down by Parliament amid the country’s civil war in 2013. At the time, he ensured that any future military action would only be carried out with the backing of MPs.
