The stalemate in Ukraine has caused the Russians to remove many of their military assets from Syria. Unless they soon prevail in Ukraine or conclude an agreement for the cessation of hostilities, I don't see the Russians building back up in Syria. Regardless of Russian intentions, I don't see Israel limiting their military activity in Syria until scores are finally settled with Hezbollah & the Ayatollahs.
