Is Russia Giving Up on Assad
Russia sending planes to Syria to deliver aid, pick up citizens
"Citizens of Russia, as well as CIS countries, who want to fly out of that country, will be able to leave Syria on the planes," she said. The planes carrying tents, power generators, furniture and 11 tonnes of food will fly to the port city of Latakia in northwestern Syria, emergencies ministry spokeswoman Irina Rossius said, according to Itar-Tass news agency. In January, the Kremlin sent two flights to evacuate 77 citizens from Syria, a signal that Russia may be preparing for the possibility of Assad's fall.

Russia sending planes to Syria to deliver aid, pick up citizens
The planes carrying tents, power generators, furniture and 11 metric tons of food will fly to the port city of Latakia in northwestern Syria, emergencies ministry spokeswoman Irina Rossius said, according to Itar-Tass news agency. She said that as well as Russian citizens, the planes would pick up citizens from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a regional group of post-Soviet states. However Russia's Foreign Ministry put out a statement the following day saying that, despite Bogdanov's comments, Moscow's policy on Syria had not changed.

Time to refer Syrian war crimes to ICC, U.N. inquiry says
Member of the Commission of Inquiry on Syria Carla del Ponte listens during a news conference at the United Nations European headquarters in Geneva February 18, 2013. Del Ponte, who brought former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to the ICC on war crimes charges, said the ICC prosecutor would need to deepen the investigation on Syria before an indictment could be prepared. Pinheiro, noting that the Security Council would have to refer Syria's case to the ICC, said: We are in very close dialogue with all the five permanent members and with all the members of the Security Council, but we don't have the key that will open the path to cooperation inside the Security Council.
