Russian FM stresses need for united anti-ISIL front during phone call with US Secretary of State John Kerry
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has stressed the need to create a united front to battle terrorist groups in Syria.Lavrov made the comments in a phone conversation with US Secretary of State John Kerry during which the top diplomats discussed the current situation in Syria.
The US State Department did not immediately offer details of the call which was made shortly after the Russian president defended his country’s military assistance to the Syrian government.
Vladimir Putin said it is impossible to defeat ISIL terrorist group also known as Daesh without cooperating with Damascus, urging other countries to join the cause.
Russia has been actively participating in international efforts to find a political solution to the conflict in Syria, as well as to assist the Syrian army in fighting against Daesh.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad says a political solution to the conflict in Syria would only be possible after the terrorists are defeated.
Speaking to Russian media, President Assad went on to say that if the Europeans are truly concerned about the fate of the refugees, they need to stop supporting terrorist groups operating across Syria.
