Palmyra, yang jatuh ke dalam tangan IS bulan
Mei 2015, telah dibebaskan oleh tentera Syria dan militia pro-Damsyik, yang
telah diberi sokongan udara oleh pesawat pejuang Rusia.
Kejayaan tentera telah mendapat sambutan yang
disenyapkan oleh pegawai-pegawai di Amerika Syarikat dan beberapa sekutunya,
yang, Moscow berkata, cuba untuk meremehkan kepentingannya.
Palmyra, which fell into IS hands in May
2015, was liberated by the Syrian army and pro-Damascus militias, who were
given air support by Russian warplanes.
The military success was met with muted
response by officials in the US and some of its allies, who, Moscow said, tried
to downplay its importance.
