My Way News - Putin signals Russia can be more flexible on Syria
My Way News reports: "Russia has backed Assad throughout a conflict that has killed more than 70,000, using its veto at the U.N. Security Council to shield Assad's regime from sanctions for cracking down on what began as peaceful protests. Moscow also has rejected calls for Assad to quit, saying his government and rebels should pursue talks. France, meanwhile, has been among the most vociferous critics of Assad and a major booster of the Syrian opposition."
