and people are being stolen by the americans in the east of syria, in the north west of syria, where the stomach, fanatics are. and there are some curious on that unless it's not really because they keep calling them changing their name supported by the turkish regime. turkey also, they have been taking a very important a place in bidding a piece of syria. and that's why you also induct city of live and sober the live also see to girls a lot and it's for, for crops. so that is the 2 most important places in syria and geographically in syria for dr. economy, either the oil or gas or the or the call is being taken by either the thirtyish and the summit told us, or by the americans. and that's why the sooner people are suffering of lack of electricity, lack of energy, and also distinctions by the not states and a european union on syria. caesar law that, of course, there are russian forces in syria at the official request of syria. and they are still there, i believe, but now with the war going on, and ukraine has that affected the amount, the, the activities of the russian forces that

humanitarian corridor was we used in syria, allowing tens of thousands of people to escape combat zones, and cities under siege. they were funneled to the north west province of it live. the last opposition held enclave. but critics say syria backed by russia also use the humanitarian corridors to carry out mass demographic change, removing large opposition populations. years later it live is still surrounded by syrian forces and hit by russian air strikes. we are joining us now via zoom. is sasha to avoid shook curator. the ukrainian institutes are in london. thank you so much for joining us. as i just described there, the phrase humanitarian corridor is often used by both sides and the conflict in ukraine. what do you understand it to me? and how importantly do we measure its effectiveness when it comes to the crisis in ukraine? at the moment? i mean, you can corridor, it is something that allows people from this each territories see tends to pass to safety to those of territories that are not being shelled or bombarded by the army . and at the moment, the center in carry just non existent in ukraine. it's very important for us to note that duri
