5 Syria

The heads of the Russian and Syrian HQ for the return of the refugees to Syria, Mikhail Mizintsev and Hussein Makhlyuf, stated that the USA are ready to release the refugees from the Rukban camp in exchange for an aid for the US-controlled terrorists. «The USA once again demonstrated their readiness to let everyone out of Rukban in exchange for humanitarian aid to the camp. The USA are trying to provide their controlled terrorists with everything needed at the expense of the international humanitarian organizations, instead of solving the camp’s problems on their own, as demanded by the international standards from the occupying party» — the statement said. It was underlined that Russia and Syria continue to make efforts for a swift disbandment of the Rukban refugee camp. Earlier, Russia and Syria agreed to deliver humanitarian supplies to the Et-Tanf zone, back in September 2019. Russia and Syria have fulfilled all their obligations. However, the US-controlled terrorists «appropriated the bulk of the humanitarian aid, and one-sidedly reduced the duration of the humanitarian mission, thus preventing the camp residents from leaving the camp. As a result, instead of the declared 2,500 people — only 336 Syrians left Rukban» — the statement concluded.
