The choice to strike Homs, an area already besieged and essentially destroyed by the Assad regimes barrel bombing campaign, contradicts Russias claims to be assisting with the fight against ISIS. Already millions of Syrians have fled their homes because of the fighting, and nearly 250,000 have been killed. These numbers will surely grow following Russias indiscriminate strikes on civilian population centers. As I wrote in a letter to Secretary Kerry last week, American leadership is critical to bringing about an end to this horror. Putins aggression in Syria is unacceptable and contravenes his governments support for three UN Security Council Resolutions. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
