In a major embarrassment for #Turkey and its proxies in #Idlib province, #AssadPutin forces recaptured at least half of #Saraqib.

Also there seems to be no fighting nearby with regime troops calm and shelling only further N-W.
As I said before: Air strikes and fire support from the distance will not be enough for Turkey to reach its goals.
Rebels are too weak. Only Turkish soldiers can achieve real gains.

Most recent regime TV footage sows most of the M5 in #Saraqib back under #AssadPutin control.
This might have changed by now as Turkish drones reportedly intervened on the side of the rebels.

#Russian-backed forces recaptured six towns in western #Idlib province today after #Turkey significantly reduced its air and ground support to allied rebels forces.

#AssadPutin forces recaptured #Saraqeb and three nearby towns today, after #Turkey stopped its military support for "allied" rebel forces in the area.
Also three #TurkishArmy posts were re-besieged (if soldiers did not withdraw from them before).

By the way: Turkey deployed more than 200 main battle tanks to Idlib.
In the 48 hours after the end of Erdogan’s ultimatum to Assad to withdraw behind the eight besieged Turkish army observation post, it did not use a single one of them.
Shows you how serious he is...
Good night.
