Therefore, the occupied Crimea (the\u00a0military base in Sevastopol) plays an important role in solving the problems associated with the increased tension in Syria regains, since the large landing ships of Russia&#8217;s\u00a0Black Sea Fleet carry out the\u00a0deployment\u00a0of manpower and resources.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Russia continues to\u00a0manipulate the international community opinion\u00a0with the help of war games\u00a0and rekindling the active phase of battle actions in both Donbas and Syria. At this moment the military pressure of Russia provokes increasing the flow of the Syrian refugees to\u00a0the EU countries, pushing\u00a0Europe to make concessions on the issues of political and military cooperation. But with the present course of events, the next round of rising of the intensity of hostilities in Ukraine is a matter of time.\u00a0So, in case if the world leaders do not have a tough and unified position against the manipulations of the Kremlin, the conflict in Ukraine will break out with renewed vigor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/12915-samolety-su-30sm-latakyy-vvo\">Original article<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100010235495201\" target=\"_blank\">Mikhail Kuznetsov<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/burkonews\" target=\"_blank\">Roman Burko<\/a>, translated by Oleksandr Klymenko\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukrainian and foreign media reported today, September 22, 2015, that the satellite images published by the US&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5493,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,528,531],"tags":[357,513],"class_list":["post-5492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mainnews","category-news","category-syria","tag-russian-aggression","tag-syria"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -

Therefore, the occupied Crimea (the\u00a0military base in Sevastopol) plays an important role in solving the problems associated with the increased tension in Syria regains, since the large landing ships of Russia's\u00a0Black Sea Fleet carry out the\u00a0deployment\u00a0of manpower and resources.\r\n\r\nThus, Russia continues to\u00a0manipulate the international community opinion\u00a0with the help of war games\u00a0and rekindling the active phase of battle actions in both Donbas and Syria. At this moment the military pressure of Russia provokes increasing the flow of the Syrian refugees to\u00a0the EU countries, pushing\u00a0Europe to make concessions on the issues of political and military cooperation. But with the present course of events, the next round of rising of the intensity of hostilities in Ukraine is a matter of time.\u00a0So, in case if the world leaders do not have a tough and unified position against the manipulations of the Kremlin, the conflict in Ukraine will break out with renewed vigor.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/12915-samolety-su-30sm-latakyy-vvo\">Original article<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100010235495201\" target=\"_blank\">Mikhail Kuznetsov<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/burkonews\" target=\"_blank\">Roman Burko<\/a>, translated by Oleksandr Klymenko\u00a0<\/em>","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5492"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5492\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5889,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5492\/revisions\/5889"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
