"Russia's Defense Ministry acknowledged Monday that the navy's Iman oil tanker arrived at the Syrian port of Tartus 10 days ago on a mission to assist Russian navy ships on anti-piracy patrols in the Gulf of Aden and “for demonstrating the Russian presence in the turbulent region and possible evacuation of Russian citizens," the Black Sea Fleet told Interfax news agency."

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I saw a different source that said they were supplying military advisers on the ground.

The Middle East is already unstable, this won't help the situation any. I wonder what Barry has to say about this...

I read a headline somewhere that Russian special forces were assisting the Assad regime. But the Putin regime also was supporting Red Cross efforts to call a cease fire. Maybe to extract their forces?
