Moscow claims external forces' seeking to escalate violence in Syria
Briefly

Maria Zakharova stated that outside forces are escalating violence in Syria and attributed recent insurgent offensives, particularly by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, to these provocateurs.
Despite these challenges, Moscow continues to back the Syrian government’s counter-offensive, with substantial reinforcements being sent to confront the recent insurgent advances toward Hama.
As the conflict develops, the Pentagon's pre-emptive strikes indicate rising tensions and the involvement of external military forces as both sides clash for strategic advantages.
The recent territorial gains by insurgents in northwest Syria represent a significant threat to President Assad, marking the most substantial challenge to his authority in years.
