the US President, Donald trump had planned to impose additional sanctions against Russia in 2018, because of the events in Syria, said a former adviser to the President for national security John Bolton in his memoirs, reports RIA Novosti.
“In the hectic hours before the strike on Syria trump initially agreed to impose more sanctions against Russia… however, he changed his mind,” said Bolton. According to him, trump decided that the American side made clear its position.
In April 2018, the armed forces of the United States, Britain and France released on Syria more than 100 cruise missiles and rockets of class “air-ground”. The plaque was subjected to both military and civilian targets. This, according to them, was a response to the chemical attack on the Syrian city of Duma in Eastern ghouta. Syrian authorities say that they never used chemical weapons against civilians and terrorists.
the Civil war in Syria began in spring 2011. The main participants of the conflict — government forces, acting on the side of the incumbent President Bashar al-Assad, the so-called moderate opposition and Islamist groups (including the banned in Russia “Islamic state”), which seized part of the territory of the country.
