This evacuation comes during a time when nearly 60,000 people
have died since March of 2011 during the Syrian conflict.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry has said that its country plans to
evacuate thousands of its citizens should the situation call for such actions.
Russia has previously been an ally of Syria, and has aided
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s military with jets, and helicopters.
CBS reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin says that
Russia realizes that Syria is in need of change.
