Leading to the question whether Russia's intervention in the Syrian conflict, and whether home, President Putin correctly, the Toom replied: "probably, Yes".
And about lasting for many months the air operations of the Western coalition, she stated: "there is No mandate for these forces there. And there was nothing they could do. Where are the results?"
According to Toom, Russia's interests are clear. First, the falling price of oil, which is very bad for the Russian economy. If we can defeat ISIL, then the price will rise. Secondly, it's too bad that such a hotbed of tension is relatively close to the North Caucasus. Thirdly, Russia could not accept that it is not perceived as a serious player. Now, notice Toom, as such it surely is — especially after the launch of missiles toward Syria, from the Caspian sea.
According to MEP, Russia not only contributes to the stability in the region — it used the failure of Western politicians to achieve their goals, to the West with her again were considered. "A couple of days ago Juncker (European Commission President) said that Russia must be a strategic partner. But I remember in the spring of Federica Mogherini said that Russia is no longer a strategic partner. That is, during those months something happened. And I tend to think about what happened in Syria," said Toom.
The host of the radio programs emphasized the fact that Putin's tactics — first of all, to protect the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. Yana Toom recalled Putin and does not conceal: the first objective is to support the Assad regime.
"I believe that the strengthening of Assad in power and the subsequent negotiations with the involvement of the moderate opposition and representatives of the US-led coalition can really improve the situation", — said the Estonian politician.
She also recalled that the main problem of the region is currently the Islamic state, and, analyzing the situation, we cannot ignore the fact that before the intervention of Russia in the situation in the struggle against this evil was not achieved absolutely no success.
On the question of whether Putin should continue air strikes until until Assad will once again be able to control the state, Toom said: "I don't know whether but will do it necessarily. And I believe that on this account he will not ask, neither my opinions nor the opinions of Estonia, nor even of the European Union".
In her view, Russia's role in future geopolitics must be more significant, "since any equilibrium is a good thing".
