For Syrian survivors, Russia’s tactics in Ukraine eerily similar

Al Jazeera  

After years of propping up President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, experts say Russian forces are using the same military playbook in Ukraine. The same tactics and scenes,” al-Fares said, claiming that attacks on hospitals increased when Russia began launching air raids in 2015 in support of Syrian government forces. “Everything that provides life and sustainability for civilians is a target for Russian attacks.” On March 9, Amnesty International said an investigation had found that a Russian air raid in which at least eight unguided aerial bombs were used had killed dozens of civilians in Chernihiv, northern Ukraine, adding the attack constituted a war crime. “Amnesty has documented indiscriminate attacks including the use of missiles and other explosive weapons with wide area effects in densely populated areas as well as cluster munitions killing and injuring many civilians.” Meanwhile, experts say Russia appears to have also adopted the practice of enforcing sieges as a military strategy in Ukraine – nowhere more intense than in the strategic port city of Mariupol. “It is in these areas that the Russian military was advising al-Assad’s forces and also taking notes on its effectiveness.” Syrian government forces and their allies used such deadly tactics in a number of locations during the 10-year war, with residents coming under heavy bombardment and left without adequate medicine and food.
