According to Russian military, evidenced by the fact that many of the militants from the border of Iraq heading to the Syrian city of Deir al-Zor, where in September the troops of the government army with the support of the military-space forces broke through the blockade.
Konashenkov demanded an explanation from the US about the actions of the Pentagon. He wants to know is the US determined to complicate the operation of the Syrian army, backed by Russian troops. He sarcastically suggested that America’s decision can be a cunning move to bring the ISIS terrorists from Iraq and force them to go to Syria on the exact route of the bombing of the Russian air force.
