[Regnum] Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit, deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in the Arab Republic (CPVS) , said that Russia is concerned about the information received about the active preparation of suicide bombers for terrorist attacks against facilities and patrols of the Russian Armed Forces in Syria. He told reporters about this. According to the officer, the Russian side is “extremely concerned about information indicating that the Jabhat An-Nusra terrorist group * (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) are actively preparing suicide bombers.” “The task of suicide bombers is to carry out terrorist attacks against objects and patrols of the Russian Armed Forces and the Syrian army,” Vadim Kulit said at a briefing on August 2. The rear admiral assured that the Russian troops would take "the most decisive and tough measures against the militants" who are planning an attack on the Russian and Syrian military.
As reported by IA Regnum , the actions of IS (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) in southern Syria and in the Damascus region are led by the Deputy Commander of the Central Command of the US Army James Melloy, the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said, citing director Sergei Naryshkin. The United States continues to contact Russia on the issue of operations in Syrian airspace. This was stated on July 28 by the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin , following the results of negotiations in the “two plus two” (AUSMIN) format with the participation of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken , as well as the heads of the Australian Department of Defense and Foreign Ministry, Richard Marles and Penny Wong. Deputy Director of the FSB of Russia Igor Sirotkin at the High-Level Conference of the Heads of Counter-Terrorist Structures of the UN Member States said that there was a real threat that terrorists would be able to acquire means of radioactive and chemical destruction. According to him, the problem remains all the more acute when state sponsors are involved in this, interested in destabilizing the political situation in one or another part of the world. | |
