American sources have stated that Boris Johnson has catapulted an attack on Russia's “seemingly indefensible” approach in Syria, just a month after telling the country's foreign minister he has wanted normalized relations with Vladimir Putin's regime.
Earlier on Wednesday the Foreign Secretary has said the Kremlin should drop its support for Syrian dictator Bashar Assad whom he has branded a "killing machine", but in August after speaking to his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, it emerged he had expressed hopes that ties between the two countries could "normalize".
It was stated that the Syrian High Negotiations Committee will also meet in London Wednesday to try and map out an 18 month transition plan to help end the conflict in the country, though its members are against Mr. Assad remaining in place.
After indicating that the Russians should end their support for Assad, Mr. Johnson has said there are people meeting in London today who have direct experience of running Syria, but who utterly reject the Assad-style police state and their ambition is to ensure a safe space, free from terror, to which migrants can return.
