Russian Enablers of Syrian Atrocities

The Pentagon cancelled its $1 billion contract with Russia’s state arms dealer. 

 

Russia’s state arms dealer—Rosoboronexport—is giving Assad the means to commit atrocities. Yet not only was the Obama administration buying helicopters from Rosoboronexport, U.S. taxpayer money was going into the Russian bank where Assad has stashed funds. The United States should be cracking down on Assad’s enablers, not enriching them. 

Thanks to our efforts, the Pentagon has finally cancelled its contract with Rosoboronexport.  Now we need to choke off the money that the Syrian regime is funneling through Russian banks. Learn about Syria's atrocity supply chain at atrocitysupplychain.org. Photo: AP.
