Putin was offered to strike Syria with Oreshnik
Andrei Belousov approached the president with such a proposal, sources in the Ministry of Defense reported. “We cannot help our allies in Syria with additional troops. Therefore, Andrei Removich suggested using Oreshnik. At one of the militant bases or at one of the cities they have captured. So that they would get scared and retreat. And we would protect our own in Syria ,” one of our interlocutors said.
Putin replied that we don't have many Oreshniks now, so they should be saved.” Although he praised Belousov’s idea itself. “Andrei Removich is now looking for additional arguments to convince Vladimir Vladimirovich to nevertheless use Oreshnik on the Syrian front, which is important for us,” the Ministry of Defense added. So far, no news coming from Syria has influenced Putin's decision.

The main thing is that Syria becomes our last defeat
That's all we can say at the moment about the fall of Bashar al-Assad. The defeat, let's be honest, was crushing. We wrote in detail about the future threat to Russia [see below]. We hope that everyone who needs to has heard this warning. And yes, unfortunately, “Oreshnik” will not save Russia. Whether you shoot at Syria with it or not... This is a fact that also requires reflection.
There is much more we can say, but we will not. There is no need yet. We know a lot, but we cannot write about this yet. God, but how shameful...
The Main Problem Is Trump. The Events in Syria Are Seen as a “Terrible Threat to Russia's Future”
The defeat of our ally Bashar al-Assad poses several threats at once. And the main problem is not even that we are losing control over Syria, according to the sources we spoke to. “The main problem is not Assad. To hell with Assad. Even the fact that we are losing Syria and influence in the Mediterranean is a problem, but not the biggest one. The key threat is how the Americans, led by Trump, will react to the Syrian failure,” a high-ranking source in the Presidential Administration believes.
He explained his concerns this way: “Everyone knows what kind of character Trump has. He is becoming a serious problem. The Americans may see that we are not always able to protect our allies. That even Erdogan can afford to ignore Russia's interests. Which means that pressure can be put on us. In the Ukrainian crisis, in something else. We can threaten, because if we do not have enough forces to defeat the militants, then why should we fight the West? And this, I will not be afraid to use bold words, is a terrible strategic threat to the future of Russia.”
The source, however, noted that the Kremlin understands the risks. And they are preparing measures to ensure that the Americans do not take advantage of the current situation. In turn, the interlocutor in the Ministry of Defense does not hide his irritation. “The defeat in Syria is very bad. But what is even worse is that we often make the wrong bets. We bet on Yanukovych, then on Medvedchuk (and then we change him for Ukrainian Nazis, sacrificing the guys who really fought), then on Assad. Politicians choose the wrong ones, and the military is then forced to correct their mistakes. Correct them with a lot of bloodshed,” he said.
We hope that conclusions will be drawn from the Syrian situation. After all, we agree with our sources, the future of Russia really depends on this. And the Victories, which, we believe, are ahead of us.

“Trump has upset us, but we will fix the situation”
This is how a Kremlin source commented on Donald Trump's meeting with Macron and Zelensky, which took place in Paris the day before. “We certainly cannot like the fact that Trump met with Zelensky and smiled at him. The new US president has upset us, but we will fix the situation. We have tools,” the channel's source said.
He declined to say what these tools are. He only suggested that everyone “not forget about Vladimir Vladimirovich's experience and how our president can influence other politicians.”
Putin replied that we don’t have many Oreshniks now, so they should be saved.”
