This whole article is built on a fake story. Russia has denied making the comment about an alleged rebels’victory.

The deadline has passed for her ransom now… I wonder if she has been beheadedc by your allies yet?

Oh that’s right! You don’t report anything negative about your “”"rebels”"” do you!?

This would be the 3rd beheading in the last week by your allies, and 4 massacres totalling over 400 civillians killed this week!
