The interaction between the Russian Federation and the United States on Syria prevented the creation of the caliphate of the Islamic State group in the country.
This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
He noted that the United States can “do a lot of useful work in eradicating terrorism” and stated Moscow’s interest in interacting with Washington.
“We have established a military communications channel with regard to Syria, in many respects this interaction contributed to the fact that the IS as a caliphate did not take place and was destroyed,” the minister quoted by Interfax.
