They refute …
And this is natural - those who set fire to the Middle East, who have been tormenting Syria for more than six years, are trying to pretend that their hands are crystal clear. That they were not the ones who supplied money and weapons to the "Syrian opposition" (most of which has transformed into an organization that has become a symbol of extremism and terrorism).
And, of course, if you believe their words, it was not they who gave the leaders of this very terrorist organization "Islamic State" (banned in the Russian Federation) information about the whereabouts of Russian General Valery Asapov … Well, of course … They are our overseas "partners" …
The US State Department has lashed out at Russia and its Foreign Ministry for suspicions of foul play. "", - RIA Novosti quotes a certain representative of the State Department.
It is worth recalling: earlier, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergei Ryabkov said that the death of General Asapov is "a price in blood for the US's two-faced policy in Syria." Ryabkov added that the United States only declares "interest in defeating terrorists", but "".
Valery Asapov, who provided international assistance to Syria in the fight against terrorists of the "Islamic State", died on September 23, when militants fired mortars at the command post of the Syrian army. From somewhere they learned the coordinates of the command post, and that the general was there. It is unlikely that their own intelligence is working so well, but if they received data from space intelligence …
As the Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security Franz Klintsevich said, “” (meaning precisely the betrayal on the part of “our overseas partners”).
Considering all the previous policy of these same "partners", it is not surprising. Shortly before Asapov died, the Russian Defense Ministry published footage showing American military equipment near the positions of the "Islamic State". In this regard, the head of the International Committee of the Federation Council, Konstantin Kosachev, noted that Washington's interaction with terrorists is confirmed "".
It becomes clear why, it would seem, such a major victory over terrorism did not go without congratulations from Washington - in these conditions, such congratulations would already be the height of blasphemy and hypocrisy.
To match the "partners" and "non-brothers" from the "country 404", who, according to the old tradition, galloped for joy at the tragic news of Asapov's death. They accuse the general, neither more nor less, of defeating their army near Ilovaisk. Those who unleashed a war against civilians of Donbass are ready to blame anyone for their failures, but not themselves …
But let's move on from these unworthy NON-personalities - to the personality of the General himself …
If you look at his biography, it becomes clear that he was never a "armchair warrior" - on the contrary, he was always where it was dangerous.
Valery Asapov was born in 1966 in the Kirov region. In 1987 he graduated with honors from the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School. He began his service in the Pskov Airborne Division. In January 1995 he was sent on a business trip to Grozny. There he was seriously wounded in the leg. Despite four surgeries, he never fully recovered from his lameness.
But, in spite of this, Asapov graduated from the Military Academy. Frunze, also with honors. Then there was a service in the peacekeeping contingent in the next hot spot - in Abkhazia. And in 2003, Asapov again served in the Caucasus, heading the Airborne Forces group. Then there was a service in the Kuriles and in Transbaikalia. In 2013, Valery Grigorievich was awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, IV degree. “I didn’t hide behind my backs,” so those who had a chance to serve with him spoke about him.
Syria was his last business trip … Most likely, his death is Washington's direct revenge for the release of Deir ez-Zor. For that very victory over the terrorists, which came as a surprise to all external patrons of the "Syrian opposition".
On September 27, the Motherland said goodbye to its warrior, who fulfilled his international duty to the end. He was buried at the military memorial cemetery in Mytishchi. He was also paid tribute to the memory in Ussuriisk, where he served for several years and from where he went to the place of his last service - to Syria. Now we are talking about naming a school in the Sakhalin Region in his honor - the public has come forward with such an initiative.
The heroism of some people and the meanness of others … This is the main contrast of the Syrian war, which continues. It continues at the will of those who, most likely, gave the militants information about the location of the very command post where Valery Grigorievich Asapov was. Unfortunately, this dirty war has not ended with the change of power in the White House, moreover, it seeks to reach a new level. To the level of more open and fierce confrontation between Russia and the United States.
Let us honor the memory of the heroes of this undeclared war, in whose ranks Valery Asapov also joined.
