The Russian military in Syria began patrolling the demarcation line between the territories of control of Russia and the international coalition led by the United States, said the representative of the Center for Reconciliation of Warring Parties (CPVS) Viktor Kudinov.
“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. Until now, there have been no patrols by Russian military personnel in these territories”, he explained.
Kudinov also noted that sleeping terrorist cells may be located in these territories, as well as violations of Syrian laws are possible.
The representative of the CPVS stressed that the main task of the Russian Armed Forces in Syria is to show the population its presence.
The United States is in Syria illegally. They are concentrated in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, Al-Hasakah and Raqqa, where the largest oil and gas fields in Syria are located.
The Russian military are patrolling the territory of the SAR at the invitation of Damascus.
