Photos are circulating online showing Russian and Syrian flags in the area controlled by the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) in the Afrin Canton in northwestern Syria. The photos appeared following reports that a number of Russian troops and vehicles entered the YPG-held area earlier this week.
Russian and Syrian military forces are reportedly setting up militants posts in order to monitor the area controlled by YPG in case of hostile actions by Turkey.
