According to Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, only Syrian government troops should be located on the country’s Southern borders.
Russia and the United States are conducting a dialogue at the diplomatic and military level regarding the situation in Syria’s Al-Tanf region, Lavrov stated.
“We are witnessing an increasing number of armed groups appearing in this region, including the Rukban refugee camp, including, according to our information, related in one way or another to ISIS and other extremist structures,” he noted.
Lavrov said he hopes that reports on withdrawal of US troops from Syria’s Al-Tanf base would come to fruition.
“The military presence there has no sense, from a military point of view,” the Russian Foreign Minister said.
