(Worthy News) – During a visit to Syria in 2017, Russian President Vladimir Putin lavished praise on a Syrian general whose division played an instrumental role in defeating insurgents in the country’s long-running civil war. The Russian leader told him his cooperation with Russian troops “will lead to great successes in the future.”
Now members of Brig. Gen. Suheil al-Hassan’s division are among hundreds of Russian-trained Syrian fighters who have reportedly signed up to fight alongside Russian troops in Ukraine, including Syrian soldiers, former rebels, and experienced fighters who fought for years against the Islamic State group in Syria’s desert.
So far, only a small number appear to have arrived in Russia for military training ahead of deployment on the front lines.
