Russia evacuates citizens from Syria
Russia has evacuated dozens of its citizens from Syria as
the country's foreign minister warns that a military intervention by the U.S.
and its allies would destabilize the region. The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry
says it evacuated 89 people, 75 of them Russians, from Syria on Tuesday, with
more expected Wednesday. News agency ITAR-TASS reported that the Russian
Embassy in Syria insisted that there was no plan to evacuate diplomats. Tens of
thousands of Russian citizens live in Syria, the legacy of years of cooperation
and exchange between the two countries.
