US Airstrike against Syrian Forces Absolutely Unacceptable: Russia

The US-led coalition airstrike on a pro-government convoy in Syria is unacceptable and violates the sovereignty of the country, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said Friday.


“Any military actions leading to the aggravation of the situation in Syria definitely affect the political process. Especially if such actions are committed against the Syrian armed forces… This is totally unacceptable; it is a violation of Syrian sovereignty. Of course, it does not help the political process,” Gatilov told RT.


  • Senior Russian senator Konstantin Kosachev also condemned the strike, questioning whether it was a deliberate attack.


 “You cannot consider the US-led coalition airstrike against pro-government forces on Thursday an accident or a mistake anymore. This is a deliberate action and its consequences are yet to be estimated,” Kosachev wrote on his Facebook page.

 “This is not only an attack in Syria and against Syria, but also against Geneva (negotiations). The US is irritated that the Geneva process is not under its control and, what is worse, it can be successful.”
