Syria has been plagued by a civil war since 2011, after the Arab Spring protests turned violent. A number of countries, including Russia, have been taking steps aimed at the settlement of the humanitarian crisis by providing aid to the Syrians and contributing to the restoration of the country.

Recently, local media reported that a highway connecting the Syrian provinces of Homs and Hama had been reopened after seven years of closure due to the activity of terrorist groups in the area.
