The publication notes that on Saturday, with the support of the Russian Aerospace Forces, the assault on the city was repelled, but this success turned out to be short-lived, and by Sunday Palmyra was basically surrendered.
As a source close to the Russian Ministry of Defense told Kommersant, the main reason for the failures of the Syrian army in the Palmyra area was that “the most combat-ready formations from all other sectors of the front were concentrated near Aleppo, where, according to the Syrian command, the decisive battle of the war is taking place.” .
