FOREIGN. Syrians are now being offered $ 7,000 to fight for Russia in Ukraine for up to seven months, reports Arab Asharq al-Awsat. The move is seen as a sign that the illegal war of aggression is not going as Vladimir Putin has intended.
Several of the Arabs are already in place in Russia and are now getting ready to be deployed in Kiev, according to information to the Wall Street Journal.

When the UN General Assembly last week voted on a resolution condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine, Syria voted against. The others who voted against were North Korea, Eritrea and Belarus.
