ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) - Riyadh al-Khalaf, the local military council leader for the northern Syrian town of Tal Abyad, told Kurdistan 24 on Wednesday that shelling by Turkish-backed forces continues against nearby Ain Issa despite the presence there of Russian forces.
“The attitude of the Syrian regime is similar to that of Russia. Last month, under the auspices of Russia, we, as the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) and the Syrian government, we set up three checkpoints in Ain Issa, but Russia and the Syrian government did not respond to any violations or attacks by Turkey, and did not even show any dissatisfaction,” he said.
