Not so long ago, international mass media reported about the liberation of Syria’s major oil filed from the terrorists. However, the question is, who actually won from this? Moscow, Washington, or Damask?
According to Reuters, the oil fields located in the East of Syria, not far from the border with Iraq, were liberated by the Syrian democratic powers, mostly represented by the Kurds and supported by the United States.
At the same time, some media report that there are some other military units fighting for the oil fields in Syria. Those units are said to be sponsored by Evgeni Prigozhin, a close friend of President Putin’s. They say that Putin promised Prigozhin 25% of the profits from those oil fields in case the mission is a success. Those mercenaries fighting for Russia are said to have been promised a job to secure those fields.
However, some other sources report that Damask is in the game as well. The governmental Syrian troops had to retreat from those oil fields. However, Asad’s troops are only around 3 miles away from the Oman oil fields. This means that all the 3 powers are fighting for those oil fields. For now it’s still unclear who is the winner but we’ll keep monitoring the situation…
