Geopolitica newspaper quoted Russian analyst Olga Sokhariva as saying that as Moscow's military achievements in Syria increase, Washington shows more tendency to keep the ISIL powerful in the war-torn Arab country.
The analyst added that opposition groups, including the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), apparently have the same goal in fighting against the ISIL but this is not the reality.
She referred to the ISIL forces' cooperation with the US and the SDF's collaboration with the terrorists to leave Raqqa and move to Badiyeh (desert) region in Syria through a safe corridor, and said Washington wants to weaken the Syrian army forces in their fight against the ISIL.
- The analyst said that a fully similar situation also prevails along Syria's Southern borders where the US-backed and controlled FSA is fighting against the Syrian army without any confrontation against the ISIL. In addition, the US warplanes target the government forces under the pretext of supporting their own positions.
- She added that the US and its allies pave the ground for the establishment of ISIL terrorists' colony in new regions without efforts to annihilate them to weaken the government forces in Syria's Badiyeh and Iraq's al-Anbar regions.
The analyst concluded that the US doesn’t want peace in the Middle-East and the current situation will lead to armed conflicts between Russia and the US in the Syrian territories.

In the meantime, the army men closed off the Southern entrance of Raqqa city to ISIL by capturing al-Rasafeh.
Field sources said that recent advances of the army soldiers have blocked the US-backed Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces path to approach Deir Ezzur.
Ali Maqsoud, a Syrian military expert said al-Rasafeh that is located West of Deir Ezzur and South of Raqqa is now under the control of the Syrian army, "so all US plans to access Deir Ezzur are null and void now".
Earlier reports said that the army men continued their operation from borders of Syria with Iraq and managed to take control over Wadi (desert) al-Lo'weiziyeh and advanced tens of kilometers along the border, seizing control of al-Washash region, Wadi al-Wa'ar and al-Wa'ar dam.
