Russia protests US ‘provocations’ in Syria’s Hasakah
2023-04-02
Oh dear. How absolutely dreadful of them.
[NPASyria] Oleg Gurinov, deputy head of the Russian Reconciliation Centre for Syria, announced on Friday that Russia protested about "provocative actions" by US troops in Hasakah Governorate, northeastern Syria.

For eight years, the United States has been deploying troops alongside other countries in Syria to fight the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems...
(ISIS).

Gurinov told the Russian news agency Tass, "Provocative actions on the part of U.S. armed forces units have been noted in Hasakeh province."

He added, "During joint Russian-Ottoman Turkish patrols, the movement of two patrols conducted by the so-called anti-terrorist coalition were tracked along the non-deconfliction routes near Deiruna-Aga and Saramsak," in the countryside of Derik.

Russia, according to Gurinov, has protested to the US-led Global Coalition, but did not mention the timing.

He added that the violation of the deconfliction agreements by the coalition jeopardizes "the fragile balance of power," claiming that it has been achieved through Russia’s efforts in the region.

He noted that this also has a negative impact on the development of the situation.

Air Force General Alexus Grynkewich of US Central Command (CENTCOM) previously said that Russian jets have violated the US airspace over the al-Tanf base in Syria over 25 times in March.

#1  U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich named commander of Ninth Air Force, succeeding U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Gregoy Guillot, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, July 21, 2022. U.S. Army Gen. Michael E. Kurilla, commander of U.S. CENTCOM, presided over the ceremony.
...Kurilla said [obviously with tongue in cheek], “Under the new command, our adversaries and our competitors can expect nothing different from AFCENT. What was true in 1941 remains just as relevant today: we will protect our interests, we will defend our troops and partners, we will serve as a force for stability across the Middle East.”
