Representative of the Center for Reconciliation of Warring Parties (CPVS) Viktor Kudinov said that the Russian military in Syria began patrolling the borders between the territories controlled by the Russian Armed Forces and the international coalition led by the United States. It is reported by RIA News”…
“This is the border dividing the territory controlled by the international anti-terrorist coalition, the East zone, and the West zone controlled by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation,” he said.
Kudinov notes that military patrols are conducted on this territory before.
According to him, in these places there may be sleeping cells of IS (the organization is banned in Russia), as well as possible violations of the rules of Syria. The main task of the Russian military presence is to show the population that the military is here and ready to help. In the future, under favorable conditions, humanitarian actions will be held here.
Russia, Iran and Turkey are the guarantors of the so-called Astana process, designed to normalize the situation in Syria. The operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Syria began on September 30, 2015.
