[RIA Novosti] LATAKIA - The Russian military in Syria began patrolling the demarcation line between the territories controlled by the Russian Armed Forces and the international coalition led by the United States, said Viktor Kudinov, a spokesman for the Center for Reconciliation of Warring Parties (CPVS).

"This is the border dividing the territory controlled by the international anti-terrorist coalition, the East zone, and the West zone controlled by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. There have been no patrols by Russian troops in these territories," Kudinov said.

Kudinov noted that there may be sleeping cells of ISIS, as well as possible violations of Syrian laws.

The main task of patrolling this territory is to demonstrate the presence of the Russian Armed Forces, explained a representative of the CPVS. It is necessary to show the population that the Russian military is here and ready to provide assistance. In the future, under favorable conditions, humanitarian actions can be carried out here.

"The patrols were carried out as usual," Kudinov concluded.

The armed forces of the United States illegally control territory in the north and north-eastern Syria in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, Al-Hasaka and Raqqa , where the largest deposits of oil and gas to Syria.

Official Damascus has repeatedly called the presence of the American military on its territory occupation and state piracy with the aim of outright theft of oil.

#1 Issued on: 09/02/2021 Washington (AFP) –
US forces in Syria are focused on fighting the remnants of the Islamic State group and are not guarding oil fields as previously ordered by ex-president Donald Trump, a US defense official said Monday. Since a US firm contracted last year with the Kurds in northern Syria to help exploit northeastern Syria oil reserves, US troops are not involved, said Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.
The 900 US military personnel and contractors in the region "are not authorized to provide assistance to any other private company, including its employees or agents, seeking to develop oil resources in Syria," said Kirby.
