“Russia is sending its large landing ship Nikolai Filchenkov loaded with ‘special cargo’ towards the Syrian coast, state news agency Interfax quoted a navy source as saying on Friday. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama told G20 leaders the United States has high confidence that Syrian forces used chemical weapons and underlined the need to uphold an international ban on the use of such weapons, a senior White House adviser said on Friday. Russia, a key international ally of Damascus in the Syrian civil war, is rotating its navy vessels in the Mediterranean and says its presence there is a security guarantee.”
