A time will come when a false messiah (Anti-Christ) will gather the world's army to fight against the True MESSIAH. Many could swear today they will never join such battle but when the time comes they won't be able to resist because the brainwashing, propaganda will be too much withstand.
If it was easy to convince the world that Russia who was trying to defend itself and her neighbors from invader is the enemy, how much more when the false messiah will be in power.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful — Revelation 17:12-14
Zechariah 6:8
Then he called to me, “Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the land of the north.”
The land of the north is not necessarily Russia, but it could be, since this is a world operation, and might include lands beyond Syria.
