"If a year ago experts said that IS produced 30,000 barrels a day then now the figure is 40,000 - 50,000 barrels," the diplomat said. "And the UN Security Council Resolution 2199 recognized that illegal oil trade is the main source of income for IS and obligated all States to decisively counteract it."
Rogachev also drew attention to the fact that the IS group has increased the number of militants and at least "has not lost territory."
Motives of Western coalition attacks on IS oil infrastructure raise questions
Russia has questions concerning the motives of the Western coalition delivering airstrikes on oil infrastructure facilities in the regions of Syria and Iraq that are controlled by the IS terrorist group, head of Russian Foreign Ministry’s department for new challenges and threats Ilya Rogachev went on to say.
"For more than a year of bombing the US-led coalition has virtually caused no damage to it [IS oil infrastructure]," he said. "It has made almost 8,000 sorties and in nearly a quarter of cases the planes returned without expending all ammunition, that is, finding no targets for attack. Meanwhile, the IS terrorists continued extracting oil from the oil-bearing fields and were building new, albeit makeshift, oil processing plants, and thousands of tanker trucks were moving across the region.".............http://tass.ru/en/politics/837942
