El Ministro de Asuntos Exteriores ruso, Sergey Lavrov, sobre las FDS y Damasco:
«Cada vez que los estadounidenses dejaban de apoyarlos, las Fuerzas Democráticas Sirias recurrían inmediatamente a nosotros: 'Ayúdennos.' Empezamos a ayudar. Luego los estadounidenses regresaron, y perdieron interés en nosotros. Damasco no es como
Valoración
Lavrov is publicly framing the SDF as a fickle partner that only turns to Russia when U.S. support wavers. This is a deliberate message to both Damascus and Washington: Russia positions itself as a reliable alternative to American backing in northeast Syria. The cutoff mid-sentence about Damascus suggests Lavrov was about to contrast the SDF's behavior with a more stable Syrian government partner. Watch for whether Moscow uses this narrative to justify deeper engagement with the SDF or to pressure them into negotiations with Assad.
