Since the first intervention of the Russian military in Syria, the battle against Daesh had turned to a new breadth. The terrorist group started to broaden its target map, trying to prove its capacity to rule everywhere.
A political solution for Syria seems to be top priority for both Moscow and Washington. To achieve it, Russia and the US supported two important decisions: “To stop financing terrorism” and “to impose a political settlement”.
The ceasefire agreement in Syria was imposed by a UN resolution in order to make a political settlement in Syria possible. The ceasefire will help restructure the status of various fighting groups and hopefully will put an end to the chaotic supply of weapons.
Moscow and Washington seem to have uncharacteristically reached a compromise in their positions on the issue of a political solution in Syria since Russia intervened militarily in Syria. The Russo-American rapprochement tests the political flexibility of most regional players.
Earlier today, a tactical Russian Sukhoi Su-24 warplane was shot down by two Turkish F-16 jets. Predictably, Russia and Turkey red the episode in opposite ways: according to Ankara, the Russian jet violated its national airspace and ignored all the warning given by the Turkish pilots; according to Moscow, however, its bomber aircraft was flying above Syrian territory near the border and may have been shot down by Turkish artillery.
The Russian military move in Syria came after a series of meetings and understandings Moscow reached with several parties, including Washington. The lack of decisiveness in the US policy, which prevailed in the foregoing phase, especially since the emergence of Daesh, created a space that needed to be filled; it imposed a policy that would counter the absence of a real vision to confront terrorism and its multiple effects.
What does Syrian President Bashar Assad’s visit to Moscow signify? Why hadn’t Assad visited President Vladimir Putin earlier? And why has Russia declared this visit? With the recent ground shifts in Syria after the powerful Russian military intervention new facts have emerged to confirm that the Russian move was not arbitrary, rather it was systematic and pointed to a new roadmap that begins by setting the military balance on the ground.

Oltre sei mesi dopo la firma posta sugli accordi di Minsk, la situazione in Ucraina orientale non offre garanzie. Eppure, durante il mese di luglio, è stato registrato un numero di violazioni del cessate il fuoco inferiore rispetto ai mesi precedenti. Una lettura in chiave scettica è, tuttavia, obbligatoria dato il re-intensificarsi degli scontri nelle ultime 24/48 ore. La città di Donetsk e il villaggio di Shyrokyne continuano ad essere epicentro dei “combattimenti” tra le forze ucraine e quelle indipendentiste, e lungo tutta la linea di contatto la tensione resta alta. Inoltre, la popolazione civile continua a far fronte a serie problematiche, quali la mancanza di acqua, energia elettrica, assistenza medica etc.[1]
