“Syria supports President Vladimir Putin’s decision to recognize the republics of Luhansk and Donetsk and will cooperate with them. The US occupation forces and the separatist militias backed by them continue to steal the wealth of the Syrian people, including oil and wheat,” Mikdad said.

Mikdad added that US officials are lying when they say that US sanctions do not affect the entry of food, humanitarian aid, medicine, and medical supplies into Syria. (ILKHA)
