The Defence Secretary has said the only way to resolve the conflict in Syria is by getting Russia to withdraw support for Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. Speaking to ITV News, Michael Fallon said: “The campaign in Syria is much more complicated [than Iraq]. Complicated by the civil war and by Russia’s determination to prop up Assad. “It’s only by getting Russia to withdraw its support for Assad, to join us in looking for a new political settlement there, that we can bring the civil war to an end, get the humanitarian aid in, and then move on Daesh terrorism in Raqqa.”
