Theyre inching closer to the city of soka which lies on a strategic road linking the northwest all the way to the capital damascus territory that is now almost fully under government control. And in syrias complex web of regional and international allegiances some say this offensive has been well planned and has further implications been there are some people who are in fact wondering if there is a tacit agreement between the russians and the turks whereas the russians would actually give a green light for the turks to act against the kurds in exchange for the russians and allies actually to capture parts of this of this.
