Chefs prepared the dinner for the soldiers in large ovens and stoves while some kitchen staff set up the dining room with cutlery, napkins and slices of bread.
Since launching its first airstrikes in Syria on September 30 after an official request for aid made by the Syrian government, Russia has flown dozens of combat missions and conducted more than 100 airstrikes, according to the Russian Defence Ministry. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad visited Moscow on Tuesday to hold talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin about the ongoing operations and current situation in the Middle Eastern nation.
