The Russian Defense Ministry has raised the issue of some 300 ISIL terrorists on pickup trucks infiltrating through a US-controlled zone in Syria's al-Tanf.
The Russian Defense Ministry has urged "the US side to explain its selective blindness regarding militants" operating near US forces in Syria, Sputnik reported.
The ministry's spokesman said the 300 ISIL terrorists tried to block a strategically important road linking Damascus and Deir Ezzur, used for delivering humanitarian aid for civilians and supplies for the Syrian Army.
In the meantime, Director of the North America Department at the Russian Foreign Ministry Georgiy Borisenko told Sputnik Washington seeks to undermine the Syrian government.
"Of course, we have a lot of questions about what the Americans are doing in Syria. Unlike the Russian forces, they are there in violation of international law," Borisenko said in an exclusive interview.
"They even establish certain zones, for example, in the al-Tanf area, where they refuse to allow the forces of the legitimate government. In fact, this is reminiscent of an attempt to divide the country, split Syria in order to create governing bodies controlled by the United States and its allies in certain part (of Syria)," the Russian diplomat stressed.

Россия располагают материалами, подтверждающими концентрацию военной техники боевиков в районе американской базы в Эт-Танфе в Сирии...
ReplyDeleteНа фото видно, как база буквально облеплена нетипичной для американцев техникой — внедорожниками с крупнокалиберными пулеметами ДШК и безоткатными орудиями. По словам официального представителя Минобороны России генерал-майора Игоря Конашенкова, эти материалы не публикуются пока "только по соображениям военной этики".
Конашенков напомнил, что Россия уже обращала внимание американцев на превращение территории вокруг военной базы в черную дыру. Однако без ответа до сих пор остается вопрос, каким образом 300 боевиков "Исламского государства" (группировка, запрещенная в России) просочились через подконтрольную США зону и попытались заблокировать трассу Дамаск — Дейр-эз-Зор.
