Syrian media previously reported that Russia recruited Syria, skilled in urban battles, because of fighting in the Russian-Ukrainian war. Syrian fighters are offered between $ 200 and $ 300, the report said.
Vladimir Putin is now interested in Syria who are experienced in urban battles so that Russian forces can take control of the cities of Ukraine, including the capital of Kyiv.

Now, Moscow hopes that Syrian expertise in urban battles can help take Kyiv, said Wall Street Journal Report, quoting four American officials. “This step points to the escalation of potential battles in Ukraine,” the report said.
