Peskov told reporters he would not comment on this issue. "As far as I know, this has been already refuted, and most important, these reports had no particular source," the presidential spokesman stressed.
On Tuesday, Russia’s Defense Ministry denied the death of Russian forces in Syria.
"We would like to say in connection with foreign media reports that Russian servicemen have allegedly died in Syria that the Russian Armed Forces have lost none of its servicemen in Syria," the ministry press and information department said.
Russia’s embassy in Damascus earlier on Tuesday also denied Reuters reports that three Russian servicemen had allegedly died in Syria. "We have no information at our disposal about the Reuters reported ‘death of three Russians’ or ‘three Russian servicemen’ in Syria. All this looks like a new stove-piping case," the Russian embassy told TASS.
"The more so that the information came from the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which in turn referred to some of its own sources," the Russian embassy said.

Russes prétendument tués en Syrie: Moscou dénonce la désinformation...
ReplyDeleteL'annonce de morts des Russes dans les frappes aériennes en Syrie fait partie de la guerre de l'information, rapporte le ministère russe des Affaires étrangères.
Les rapports des médias occidentaux sur la mort de citoyens russes lors des frappes aériennes en Syrie ne sont pas prouvés et font partie d'une guerre de l'information, a déclaré mercredi le porte-parole du ministère russe des Affaires étrangères, Maria Zakharova.
"Le problème est que lors de la préparation du matériel contenant cette information, l'agence Reuters n'a pas téléphoné au ministère russe des Affaires étrangères, pas une seule fois", a annoncé Maria Zakharova.
Plus tôt, l'agence Reuters a rapporté, citant "une source gouvernementale," que trois Russes avaient été tués dans un bombardement des positions de l'armée syrienne à Lattaquié.
Le ministère russe de la Défense a déclaré qu'il n'y avait pas de victime parmi les membres des forces armées russes et syriennes. L'ambassade russe à Damas a également démenti cette information.
