Russia to launch military attacks in Syria after Putin gets unanimous su...

Russia is set to deploy its military forces in Syria after President Vladimir Putin was granted unanimous support in parliament to destroy ISIS.

Putin has been building up a military presence in Syria as a sign of support for President Bashar 

al-Assad, whose country has been torn apart by rebel forces including twisted Islamic terrorists.

Sergei Ivanov, the head of the Kremlin administration, said after the vote in the Federation Council: "The Syrian president asked the leadership of our country for military assistance."But he said the vote did not mean that Russian ground forces would be engaged in conflict and that the move referred to the use of the air force only.

"If there will be a united coalition which I doubt, or in the end two coalitions - one American and one Russian - they will have to coordinate their actions," Ivan Konovalov, a military expert, said."For Russian forces to operate there legitimately [...] a law was needed."Some reports in the Middle East have claimed that Russian military jets are already carrying out air strikes in Syria.The Kremlin has declined to confirm that.

The last time the Russian parliament granted Putin the right to deploy troops abroad - a technical requirement under Russian law - Moscow seized Crimea from Ukraine last year.
