If US Can’t or Won’t Fight Terrorists, They Should ‘Stop Getting in the Way’: Russian MoD
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] The Russian Defense Ministry commented on the US State Department’s calls not to help tankers shipping fuel to the Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria. If Washington cannot or does not want to fight terrorists, it should not get in the way, the ministry’s front man Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said Thursday.US State Department front man Mark Toner urged other countries not to provide support for Russian tankers shipping fuel to the Russian aviation group in Syria. "Such statements, unfortunately, only confirm our earlier estimates that fighting terrorism in Syria has never been on the outgoing administration’s agenda," Konashenkov said. Washington had impeded negotiations, did not separate gunnies and opposition and now openly called on other countries to hamper Moscow’s anti-terrorism fight in Syria "to somehow downplay the failures of US policies in the country since 2014", the front man said.
