Russia Sends Ship To Syria As Show Of Support For Assad Regime As It Faces UN Pressure | World News | Sky News: "Russia has dispatched the flagship of its fleet, the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov as well as the destroyer Admiral Chabanenko, to the eastern Mediterranean where it will visit a naval base in Syria, in a show of support of Bashar al Assad the Syrian president facing calls for his indictment for war crimes.
The Kuznetsov was being monitored by HMS York 30 miles off the coast of Fife, Scotland, in international waters.
But the Voice of Russia said that its task would be to join an exercise in the Mediterranean.
This will include a visit to Tartus, a Syrian port where Russia has a resupply base.
The news came as the United Nations accused Assad and his regime of the murder of 5,000 of his own citizens."
