The Washington Post: That showed the bloody incident of the death of Russian fighters in Syria PMC WAGNER?

“This week's deadly clash between US and Russian puppet forces had grim omens. But, according to the commander of the Syrian Kurds, watching the battle, happened, first of all, – a story about Russian treachery, which the US military considers a chronic problem, hindering the end of the Syrian war”, – reported by David Ignatius in The Washington Post.

Commanding “Syrian democratic forces” General Hasan “He said, that he had received intelligence reports of an impending attack in favor of the regime and, in 21:30 on Wednesday, about half an hour before the start of the offensive, called his usual Russian contact in Deir ez-Zor in the hope of avoiding a battle”, referred to in Article.

“We told them, that there is some movement, and we would not like (…) attack these advancing people. They [Russian] did not accept our offer and denied everything”, – Hasan said.

The attack started around 22:00. According to Hasan, Russian mercenaries took part in it. American aircraft responded with fire from AC-130 aircraft and armed drones. According to the Pentagon, over 100 human, including Russians. Hassan reported, that in the midst of the massacre, the Russian communications officer asked for a pause, to take away the dead and wounded, – during the attack, which he previously denied. The Kurdish commander took this behavior as treachery.

The Washington Post: Что показал кровавый инцидент с гибелью российских бойцов в Сирии?

“How to strike a balance? – author writes. – The US military has shown its overwhelming dominance in the regions, which the US controls in eastern Syria. The pro-Russian forces paid dearly for their unprovoked and, apparently, insidious attack. But the incident also demonstrates the fragility of the US political and diplomatic role in Syria.”.

“The Russian Ministry of Defense issued a ridiculous statement on Thursday, which states, that the attackers were chasing the fighters “an Islamic state” (banned organization in the Russian Federation). This is nonsense, and the russians probably know it. There are no ISIS fighters left in this region thanks to the US-led coalition. So what is the United States doing there now? The Russian statement contains an emphatic argument: breakwater, US military “seize control of the country's economic assets”, and not just fight terrorists”, – reports Ignatius.

“American military power in the fight against Russian tactics of use “green men”, whose existence can be denied, scored a point. But there are no positives for the American mission in the broader sense.. This incident only highlights the precariousness of the US long-term role in Syria.”, – says journalist.

If these are our troops, why is the Kremlin silent? If it's some private military company, then in Russia there is still no law on PMCs. Who are these people, who fight on behalf of Russia? At whose expense are they fighting?, who brought them there and how, armed? Isn't this mercenary? Why is the Investigative Committee of Russia and its head silent?
