MOSCOW, June 7 (Reuters) – President Vladimir Putin said on
Thursday that Russia is ready to send peacekeepers to the Golan
Heights to replace Austrian forces after Vienna said it would
recall its troops from a U.N. monitoring force due to worsening
fighting in Syria.
“We could replace the leaving Austrian contingent in this
region on the border between Israeli troops and the Syrian
army,” Putin told the RIA Novosti news agency.
