President of the Syrian Opposition Coalition (SOC), Salem al-Meslet, stressed that the recruitment by Russia of Syrians from regime-held areas to fight in its unjust war in Ukraine is a crime that is added to the endless litany of crimes against the Syrian people.
Meslet called on the United Nations to take urgent measures to stop this crime and hold those responsible to account. He expressed the support of the Syrian people to the friendly Ukrainian people who have become a new victim of the Russian aggression, as has been the case in Syria since 2015.
