LONDON: Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly sending 1,50,000 soldiers to Syria to wipe out the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
According to The Daily Star, he is apparently mounting an enormous military mission to take control of the terror group's stronghold of Raqqa.
Raqqa is the self-declared capital of ISIS which is patrolled by as many as 5,000 jihadi members.
Putin is set to mobilise 150,000 reservists whom he conscripted into the military earlier this week.
