Moscow Loses Patience Over Syria as Situation Deteriorates – Russian General Staff

MOSCOW -Russia is starting to lose patience over Washington’s reluctance to determine the concrete targets of the fight against terrorists, the head of the Russian General Staff said Monday, Sputnik reported.

 Earlier this week, US media cited an anonymous official who claimed planes of the Russian Aerospace Forces had hit the positions of US-backed Syrian “opposition” forces. Russian and US defense officials held a rare video conference overnight to address the issue.

“It is us, not Americans who are losing patience concerning the situation in Syria. We are fully meeting our commitments and agreements on securing the ceasefire and national reconciliation in Syria,” he said.

Gerasimov said that Russia has been sending coordinates of targets of the Islamic State (IS) and the “Nusra Front” to the United States for three months while the United States cannot still determine which armed groups belong to terrorists and which – to the Syrian “opposition”.

“As a result, terrorists are actively restoring their strength and the situation is escalating again,” Gerasimov said.
