The city is the “self-declared” capital of ISIS in Syria and is routinely patrolled by upwards of 5,000 jihadi members. Valdimir Putin is mobilizing 150,000 reservists that he conscripted into Russia’s military back in September. An insider revealed – “It is very clear that Russia wants to sweep up the west of the country, taking Raqqa and all the oil and gas resources around Palmyra. This is fast becoming a race to Raqqa – to secure the oil fields they need to cleanse the region of insurgents, and the IS capital is vital to do that.”
