Russian DM: Western calls for more sanctions on Russia a response to liberation of thousands of civilians in Aleppo

The Russian Defense Ministry considered that the calls by West to subject Russia to more sanctions came as a response to the Syrian Arab Army’s liberation of more than 80,000 civilians from the eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo city who were held hostage by terrorist organizations.


In a statement published by RT website, spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry Gen pointed out that while Western politicians claim that they are defending civilians in Aleppo, the terrorist organizations had been using them as human shields for several years.
